pumps

Post by haggis51 » Sat Mar 28, 2015 10:45 am

Hi all,
I want to incorporate a pump into my system, primarily to recirculate the wort during mashing. Then use it with my 30 plate wort chiller. What types do you recommend? Also do you recommend low voltage or 240v? Thanks.

March May 809 and chugger model will more than handle mashing temperature, have the 809 and v happy with it
mrlard's shop has some low voltage magnetic coupled pumps that might be worth a look

I use a little brown solar pump. It works fine and is rated to 110°c.

You should buy the march may 809. .seems a bit to folk out at first but it's the best pump for home brewing . ...just wish it was water proof.

Thanks all. I've decided to go for a solar pump and variable adaptor from SolarProject. It seems to have more positive reviews and at a good price.
