Did you buy it from ebay:usapumps or directly from chuggerpumps.com? I am very close to getting one of these myself and was going to get it on ebay since it was a little cheaper but he does not have any listed right now.
Has anyone considered this Pump? I have been looking into the materials used on this pump and it should be fine for brewing. Pretty cheap alternative.

This link is for a PX pump, there is no F in the model number.
Wow Thanks for all the help. I guess I should have consulted my lawyer before researching materials and contacting the company.
This is the same **** that happened with little giant pumps. All you haters said it won't work and blah blah blah. Look now. Everyone wants a little giant. I am just offering an alternative company. I know what the link is showing. I was just using it as a reference. If you read the rest of my post you would have seen that I was researching the materials and contacting the company. Just like every other pump manufacturer including march and little giant, they have different heads. The guy I wrote to said the price difference is slight. Though in his broken chinglish. I am waiting back on a qoute from them to purchase direct.
Don't worry I am done with this conversation. I will not post back what I find. It is clear you are not interested in new products and alternatives to your craft. I will keep the results to myself.
This is what you want.

Same price, 50% more flow, can be run dry and is so quite you don't even know its turned on. Compared to this one, the March 809 is a POS.

I spent 2 weeks researching this f***ing pumps, and the little giant seems superior to everything else in its price.
I am actually getting 2 of the 1/6th HP one
I think this might have been discussed in some other threads but, what about using a non-magnetic drive pump. I have run into some nice pumps with suitable materials for beer and high temps. They are not magnetic drive heads though. They are centrifugal. So if you don't mind voiding a warranty you could put a speed control on it to get slower flow. One pump I saw the company made a speed controller so It might not void the warranty.
I am having a hard time finding a pump with 3/4" inlet and 3/4" outlet. (at reasonable prices)
I just saw this one on drillspot. They claim it is sealless. Noryl is a stable material at boiling temps, but all they give for specs is gravity up to 1.5 I can not find any other info about them.
Any chance you have a model number for the stainless version. I think I will try and go that route. I have been searching for the right pump for weeks now and keep hitting road blocks.
So I have not seen much feedback on the Chugger pumps. How do people like them? I can't decide if I should just go with a chugger or get a march pump with a stainless head. Would there even be a difference?
Also, are you able to control the speed on either model? I have a smaller CFC and sometimes need to slow the rate of liquid into them. Does it hurt the pump if you just restrict the flow rate directly from the Brewpot?
If there is interest, I'll break out the camera and get some shots of the issues I'm describing.
Same threads, 180 degrees out.
Eccentric hole
Regarding the out hole: I'm please to say that I was just plain wrong about the size. The exit on my Chugger pump is 0.426, the exit on the March is 0.408.
By the looks of both pumps I would bet if one used a rotary carbide bit and opened up the inlet / outlet ends besides making them concentric to the OD the pumps efficency in GPM would be increased. They look pretty pathetic for what they are charging for them.
