MKII Wort Pump

[WillieP]

Hi All,
So the question I have is, does anyone have any experience with the MKII wort pump?

This is the pump I am referring to: http://www.williamsbrewing.com/MARK-II-WORT-PUMP-P4028.aspx

Not a plug for Williams Brewing, it's just the only place in the US I've been able to find the pump. Seems this is a popular pump in Australia (@ 240v of coarse). I have a question posted on Aussie Home Brewer, but haven't heard anything back yet. This MKII model seems pretty new, I've read some stuff on AHB that they were excited about being able to get the SS head for it.

The real point of me asking is I would like to set up a 4 vessel HERMS with a separate vessel for the EHEX, small vessel with 20-25 ft of 1/2 copper. I don't want to spend the $$$ for a chugger or march, I've read a lot about the little 12/24 vdc pumps and I'm not sure that's the route for me either, I thought this might be a happy place in the middle.

Thanks for your help!

Its very new to homebrewing and popular it seems. your at least the third person to start a thread about it in the last 2 days... taks a look at the "cheap pumps" https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=569257 thread from earlier today... you might find some helpful info there.

They've been around a while though. My employers been using them to pump chemistry at work for years.. They seem to hold up quite well.
