I had a problem in the middle of a brew yesterday. I was using the march pump to push my sparge water up to the sparge arm. I noticed my sparge was a little cold, so I turned up the temperature of the sparge water. It got up to about 190-200 and the water would stop pumping. I took the head apart and everything looked good. I put it back together and the pump did not work. The water cooled to 185 and the pump worked again. It was pushing very strong again. As soon as I turned the water pressure back up, boom no work again.... any ideas on this?
Just a few notes: the pump worked very well below 185. I am using 1/2 line and was not pushing much head (5' or so). Primed the pump well with a good feed line.
