Pumps, pumps and pumps.

On Gray's at the mo, there seems to be a good supply of mag pumps available.
Although I can't see the terms food grade being used, they do mention water tank use.

What's your thoughts on these for a rims set up?

There's quite as few listed there. These two caught my eye.

Large litre per minute flow in both of them, looks like massive overkill, and possibly not.designed for hot liquids.
This is just my 2c as I haven't used pumps but you might find you have to spend extra coin on restricting the flow only to find it didn't cope with hot wort.

Likely to have lost a batch of wort and $$ on pumps that aren't suitable

 

[H0U5ECAT]

So what's a good flow rate for a 40ltr batch?

 

[wynnum1]

Are there any pumps that work on the mains pressure of the water that comes out of the tap .

 

[wide eyed and legless]

Have a look on Ali express you will find something suitable.

 

[Pogierob]

Look up March or chugger pumps for.comparison.as.they appear to be the pumps of choice.

 

[Luke84]

By the looks of it both are direct drive pumps and not suitable for higher temps and not suitable for making your awesome beer mate

 

[Mardoo]

Many, many Brewers use these in addition to March and Chugger pumps.

[H0U5ECAT]

Yeah, looked up the specs where I could and looks like they can only do 60 deg Max.
Think I'll sit with my lhbs

Those pumps in the first post aren't suitable for brewing. Not temp rating so almost guaranteed to not be able to handle hot wort. Water pumps also typically have rubber sealing materials that will likely leach flavour into an acidic wort.
Stick with the products purpose-made for the job.

What about this one did what wide eyed said used aliexpress
Anyone got one of these any good ???

 

[Mardoo]

Looks to be the esteemed LBP, or little brown pump. You can do waaaaaaay better on that price.

 

[rude]

ah so thats the little brown pump cheers Mardoo
Looks like you need 240v to 24v trany with that one so extra there but $19 is good
The mag pump looks good too for $65

 

[Mardoo]

Ah, yes, forgot about that. The Cheeky Pesk one is 12v, the one you posted is 24v. The transformers can be had on eBay for SFA.

[emoji3] thanks mate

I have one of these and it works a treat for single and double batches. I use it to recirculate my mash through a RIMS tube (with the rest of my transfers via the magic of Newtonian gravity). Never had an issue with it, although the nylon thread is quite soft, and needs care when attaching stainless fittings to it.

Grab a plug in phone charger or similar of the suitable voltage,wire it to the pump leads and your set like jelly.

As everyone has said, they aren't suitable for hot wort etc.

But I bought one of the first ones you posted, but at a better price . I bought a laundry sink from the Tip which I wanted to put in my brewery as I was sick of having to go out to the taps to wash or rinse anything, plus I live in a block of units so I don't want to have to deal with other residents complaining. I framed up the sink with form ply and then plumbed it to the pump. I also have a power point just underneath the sink that the pump is plugged into, so I can just reach under and switch it on and off. I made a strainer out of the metal fly screen so that it's only liquid getting pumped out and a four tap manifold for my water supply. I now just hook up a hose for water and run a one around the back to a drain.

I used it for the first time on the weekend and the pump worked great.

Since seeing your post I have been looking a little bit for a cheaper alternative to the chugger and march pumps as I am considering adding a pump to my system.

have a look at this one. I can't vouch for it, but I can vouch for the boys at Full Pint, they don't sell substandard equipment to my knowledge.

The keg king pumps are good, but if you want stainless, there is a replacement stainless head for them as well.

I don't like the shitty plastic threads, they either snap, or just Rio through the threads, I mean.. Sharps metal, thin plastic.. Surely they didn't think it through!
