I have a March 809 PL-HS Pump that I have been very happy with. However, I am finding that the pump impeller will occasionally stick when pumping, especially high temp liquids (sparge water and wort to the CFC). When this happens sometimes cycling the power will un-stick it, but it will eventually get stuck for good. When this happens it requires disassembling the pump head (hot!), freeing the impeller, reassembling and moving on.
I find after research that the pump head is supposed to be lubricated by the liquid it pumps. However, this seems to not be happening properly.
Has anyone else had this happen to them? If so, how have you dealt with it.
Thanks!
