Hello Fafrd,
I don't own a March Pump so I really can't provide any reasonable comparison between the GreatBrewEh pump and a March pump...other than the obvious price delta.
1. I have not had any issues cleaning the pump....I don't take the pump apart to clean....I run hot PBW throughout the...
I bought one of these a while back and have been pleased with it....don't count on much customer service from the seller he can't seem to provide updates on shipping or respond to emails....but once you have the pump it does everything that is needed.

Bought one of these a couple of months ago, have brewed 5 times with it. A very nice piece of equipment...works very well, I use both leaf and pellet hops with no issue. This is definately something to add to your Christmas Wish List!!!!
Thought I would take a chance and order one of these.
Ordered 23 July
Shipped (Per Pay-Pal Notice) 30 July
Delivered to Houston, TX 6 August
Hooked the pump up to a keggle yesterday, thread difference issue is not difficult to work around...no leaks! Recirculated PBW for about 60 minutes...
Stop by a welding supply place and pick up a flap disk for about $15. Very easy to enlarge an existing hole. I used a 60 grit on the keggles I put together.
