Buy a plastic pump and mention you talked to Mike on Homebrew and we wil give you a SS head free ...MIKE
My chugger pumps are leaching plastic taste into the brewing water. Not sure what is going on. I have taken the heads apart and cleaned them, but problem still exists. I sent an email a few days ago to the paypal contact, no response. I emailed [email protected] last night, but not sure that is the correct contact.
So, currently I am out $158, because I can't use them.
Added camlocks. The camlocks have the dark orange o-rings, they were bought at the Austin Homebrew store. Tubing used is silicon tubing.
I did a test last night, heated up water (Maybe 170F) and poured it onto the plastic head (Nothing else involved), the same smell appears. Its plastic smell, the water tastes just like the smell. Just one table spoon of the water gives me a headache.
Yes, the head was opened. The smell comes from inside the head where the impeller spins.

How about after the fact?! Man just got mine the other day.
Ordered one of the plastic head ones tonight off Ebay. I went to the area asking for a final price from the seller and in the comment section I mentioned Mike and asked for the SS version. Waiting to see what happens next.
Hey Mike,
Just ordered two pumps. Hope to be receiving the ones with the stainless heads. What a deal!
Better hurry if you want one at the $79.99 price. According to the auction, after I ordered, there were only two left at that price.
