Which Pump

[dug]

I want to build a movable brewey setup for AG. I would like to get other people input as to which pump would be better.

what are the differences btw march and Peristaltic, and how are they best used?

I see the advantage of Peristaltic not needing to be primed, but is thatreally an issue?

look at how the pumps work

March is a fully sealed magnetic drive with higher delivery volumes
peristaltic is a positive displacement pump with lower delivery volume
you choose which suits you best and maybe even a poll might help you decide

priming is not an issue if the pump is mounted correctly under the line of your mash tun / hlt as it will be gravity primed.

Kleiny - top answer

Dug - ashame you just missed out on a march pump bulk buy (under gear & equipment section).

I'd suggest a search, lots of info on both pumps, including plans to build your own peristaltic if that floats your boat. There was even a poll a few months back...

I did a poll and the results were fairly even.

In the end I went for March pump.
Only because availability and price.
Peristaltic pumps are not so easy to come across for the volumes required V price.
Then the bulk buy happened.
Perhaps give Karl from process pumps a call and see what you can do.

But as stated above each to their own and you will be happy which ever you decide

Ross (craftbrewer) sells Peristaltic pumps. you can give him a call. Im sure he'd be more than helpful. God I can smell another pump bulk buy :lol:
