I have been using 2 stainless Chugger Pumps in my home brewery for almost 2 years. They each have the same numbers of hours on them. Recently, they have both been susceptible to chattering when the output valve is closed down at all. These pumps have never been dry-run. This is a new development as of my last few brew days. I take my pumps apart after every brew day and clean/dry them. I've noticed that the pair of thrust washers in the pump head seems quite worn. Would this cause the chattering I'm hearing? Does Chugger Pumps sell or offer service kits for these heads? (Replacing both washers in each pump head) If so I'd like to get 2 kits. Also, I would like to get two new silicone head gaskets.
