Need a submersible CIP pump

[cfrazier77]

Fellow brewers,
I need some pump help. I need a submersible pump for CIP cleaning of my conical. My conical is a Brewhemoth, yes I have had it for a while. I had a great 900 watt pump that I purchased in 2011 and worked great with no issues. Picture attached. Then a couple of months ago my basement flooded and it was halfway submerged in murky water. It was the sump that flooded, not sewer. I decided not to risk it so I got a new pump. It is a 1 hp stainless housing submersible, https://www.amazon.com/Edxtech-Stai...mersible+pump&qid=1555709718&s=gateway&sr=8-5.

Here is the problem, I went into the brew area and it was submerged in a bucket. The bucket was full of rust. I took the pump apart and the motor housing is not stainless.

So is there any 1 horse, or 900 watt, submersible pump out there that someone is using that is good? Thanks!!!!!

I have been using this one from harbor freight for a couple years now on my brewhemoths. Works great and no signs of any rust or issues. I like it so much I got a second for my keg cip system. It's a little pricey but they put it on sale periodically and they always have the 20% off coupons in the ad.. https://m.harborfreight.com/34-hp-s...h-63477.html?utm_referrer=direct/not provided
