Hey guys, just picked up a Chugger pump and have a question regarding sparging. Should I vorlauf prior to pumping through for the larger chunks, is some husk, etc, not a big deal?
You should be fine. I use my chugger to recirc the mash and to whirl pool in the bk and I haven't had a problem even with sucking hop particles through it.
That's the beauty of a mag drive pump. If something large enough gets through and stops the impeller nothing will break it will just stop pumping until it's cleaned out.
The pump I got has the stainless head that has the one inch center in-flow connector. I'm trying to find a stainless one inch to 1/2 inch bushing so that I can attach the pre-purchased camlock fittings, but I'm having trouble locating one. Anyone had this problem, and can they share how they worked around it?
Alright, got a hold of the guys at Tri-State, they're replacing the pump with an inline, since they aren't actually selling the center inlet pumps yet. Apparently there was a bit of a mix up. Good part is that I don't have to worry about switching stuff out on the 1/2" camlock set up I have due to the center inlet being a 1" male fitting.

Thanks for the input!
HA! I had the same thing happen to me on my recent order! Glad to see they are taking care of both of us.
