Just run the pumps from a separate point. You haven to run the pump 100% of the time and probably have this thing plugged into a powerboard anyway.

so that your controller controlls everything. not having seperate switches/boxes for multiple pieces of equipment

As CM2 pointed out, I don't want to have to go to my power point to turn on/off my pump, I want the thing wired to my control box next to all my other switches.
That's how I have my controller set up now and I can switch the pump whenever i want, and while it does run pretty much constantly I still turn it on and off at various times throughout the brew day.

I did say I don't want much didn't I ?

I installed a rocker switch on my stand that way I can switch it on and off when needed

Or just buy a switched power board with RTC, now that's sensible.
I nearly bought one the other day from Bunnings.

Mate. I scrolled through the entire thread twice and there's only two posts by Argon and neither of them about using O rings. Didnt see any photos on it either.
I'm on my iPhone so maybe I missed it. Or I'm a dickhead.

The ones from Jaycar are really good:

I've had the arlec ones which are crap. This thing doesnt require pairing after blackouts either.. At least it hasn't yet.

what sort of flow rate are you getting through the coil using the hermit brown pump ?

my ghetto setup is doing about 5L a min

whats considered enough flow ?

A good flow rate would be as fast as you can recirculate without compacting the grain bed and that depends on your mash tun and false bottom design. 5L a minute sounds pretty good to me.
