I have tried the cheap pumps
burned 3 of them up. Just bite the bullet and get a chugger and never look back.
Hate your luck.
One reason for choosing these 12v pumps to test my system re-design was $$ driven. I don't want to sink $200 on a Chugger and fittings to find I like my gravity fed system better. (which I haven't had luck with the pumps yet) I'm about $130 all in and most are silicone tubing and stainless upgrades I needed anyway.
Only $60 on pumps and power/controls.
To be very clear about the biggest reason for me! 12v vs. 110.
I drink homebrew while I brew. It's a rule. I will not be killed over a hobby. If there's water/ wort and high voltage electricity playing in the same area.... I'll pass.
I may never choose a Chugger type pump even IF I change my design.
