    Chugger pump issues.

    Hi Simdop, I think you can be confident that Andrew at Liquide Friction is selling a product that works now. If you are concerned, you might ask him to test it before shipping. Cheers, Matthew

    Chugger pump issues.

    OK, good news. Andrew got a new batch of pumps in and replaced my faulty ones with two new ones (again!). But this time they work! Just finished brewing up a batch with a 90min mash and a 60 minute sparge where both the water and wort pumps were running constantly and, drum roll, no...

    Hi Andrew, please let me know if/when you've been able to solve this problem. I'm not interested in returning the pumps you sent me for two of the same quality, but I'd rather exchange my Chuggers for working ones than fork out yet more money for 2 new March pumps. Cheers, Matthew

    I also meant to say that I've re-positioned the pumps 3 different times. The pic I posted was from my 3rd (and best) test. For this one, I have the pumps suspended in mid air with no shrouds and a large house fan blowing on them.

    Chugger pump issues.

    OK, as promised, here is my update. Both Bobby from Brewhardware and Andrew from Liquide Friction worked together and I now have two new Chuggers in my possession. I cannot say enough good things about the service and how Chugger is trying to stand behind their product. Unfortunately, the...

    Chugger pump issues.

    Just wanted to let people know that I have had the same exact problem as fishy. Two pumps from Bobby at Brew Hardware (ordered before I knew about chugger.com.au) and both overheat and cut out after about 15 minutes. They both have a big "230V" sticker on 'em and I've checked to make sure they...
