I recently obtained an unwired March pump (AC 3C MD) on the cheap.. only to find out when I got it that it was a 230 v model, not 115 v..
I don't have a 230 v outlet where I plan to use this, so I'll need to use a converter. Also, I need to wire this thing but obviously need to use a 230 v extension cord to wire it (unless there's a better suggestion out there).
So,
1. Would it be safe to use a converter with the pump? I intend to use it for recirculating wort before lautering and for running through my plate chiller, mainly.
2. What do I need to wire this with a 230 v extension cord? Do I need to solder or something? Sorry, I've wired some 115 v stuff before (like my temperature controller), but 230 v is beyond me.
