I know of three others that are in if we get over 10. One will post tomorrow to the list.
So 10 is looking good.
I'm hoping we can get 20 so that we can all save some dollars and get a great pump.

Beers,
Doc

Apologies Peter. I better get a pen out and make a list as this thread may get very large.
The more the merrier in this case. So with Docs other 3. Looks like we are getting close.

I was one of docs three.
Count me in.
Trev lives in the Shire also, so we could share postage??
 
If there is a bracket that attaches to the round motor housing ,I'll be in for a bracket(not the s/steel plate as shown b4)
 
Here's an alternative to the s/s bracket which you can buy at bunnings for a couple of bucks.

Doc,
I'm just about to call again to get some more info on the brackets. I just asked if they can provide on yesterday and they said yes. I have no idea what size or shape it is.

What type of fittings will these pumps be for, I would prefer threaded rather than barbed if that is possible

Cheers
Andrew
 
Here is a piccy of the pump.
It has a threaded inlet and outlet of which I believe is 1/2"

Is the pump any different to the B3 pump?

http://www.morebeer.com/product.html?product_id=17311

$US130 = approx $AUS170 plus postage and shipping.

Actually Kirem you if you want to order the pump from MoreBeer you need this one which is the 230v version. That therefore makes it US$155 + postage and shipping. MoreBeer has also been out of stock of that pump for the last 3-4 months.
As for the models being the same, I think the MoreBeer one is made for them. What the differences therefore are, I have no idea, but I'd imagine they are minor if any.

Beers,
Doc
 
It's amazing how timely these bulk buys can be. I was going to order a one of these pumps tomorrow.

Add me to the list please.

Cheers
Bagnol
 
Kirem, no it's no different. The exact same pump in a 240V model (which morebeer can supply as well if you ask) but it does have a mounting plate attached to it on the B3 one, no biggie in my opinion.

However, yes it is $170AUD (if that's what you worked it out to be, but ultimately depends on what exchange rate your bank offers you, it's never as good as you see on www.xe.com or the daily news-they take a cut) from B3 but you will be looking at around $40+ for shipping & insurance (which I think is compulsory with B3?), I forget the exact figure but I have priced it before and it works out to about the same price that the guys are trying to offer here.

I got mine from G&G on their 20% sale and it cost me around $220. This price is good. If your even thinking about a pump I say jump in and grab one, you will use it and you know you want it ;).

When I saw the pump at this price I just said what the hell it's only money, I'd been dreaming one one since I started all graining.

Good work fellas.

Cheers, Justin
 
OK,
Just spoke to Greg at Process pumps.
The bracket is an L shaped bracket that attaches to the pump (not sure how) which in turn can be mounted to either a wall,beer stand etc. He did not have any pics of one but kindly offered a sketch of one in an email wichh I am waiting for.

Other issues:
They dont have enough stock at the moment. They order on Friday which then takes another 2 or 3 weeks for the pumps to get here from overseas.
Depending on how soon we want these it may be a good idea to have the final number by Friday so I can let them know.

Postage. They unit comes in its own prepackaged box. They can mail the unit to anywhere in Australia for $16.50. I dont mind picking the units up and mailing them myself but I will post out via registered, return receipt mail due to the cost of the units.

I'm still waiting for the sketch of the bracket. Will post as soon as I have it.
