I used my SS chugger for most of the day yesterday brewing up 20 gallons of tasty brew. The pump worked like a charm. soon i will buy another one when my stand gets a little closer to operational. for anyone who is still tossing around buying one of these i would say BUY IT!

I need a SS head to replace my plastic head. What do they cost, I can't find one on ebay right now?

Make sure you rotate the head 180 degrees on the right pump.

So it turns out mike shipped mine right away, I just got the tracking number and it's already in town. Seriously impressed with not only giving me a free product, but the speed in which he shipped to Alaska. Many kudos to Tri-State Pumps.
Thanks again mike, I'll post up my review soon.

And, avoid mounting the motor on its side (sleeve-bearing oil ports should face up). Makes oiling the motor less difficult.

Thanks, I do plan on taking it apart and rotating the pump head, as well as painting the pump cover. I don't have them mounted yet as you can see in the pic, I just tossed them up there to show what they looked like as soon as I ripped open the box

Actually the pumps work best IMO with the outlets horizontal, the outlet facing right, the inlet facing left. This actually places the outlet opening of the impeller housing straight up allowing the air to be full purged from the pump. |
