eBay pump food grade?

I bought two eBay pumps a few weeks back, the ad stated that yes they were food grade. Now that I have the pumps I have the model, ZC-T40, and I can't find anything online stating that it either is or is not food grade.

The pumps work very well at moving water in testing, but I don't want to use them with brewing water/wort/beer if it could cause harm.

What is the risk with using them?? I'm curious if anyone else has these pumps and uses them for brewing...thanks if anyone has some input they can share!!

 

Are they magnetic propellers?

 

Yes, it's a magnetic pump...

Then you're good

 

Can you elaborate please?

My concern is that when I search for the model, I find other ads that don't state it is food grade, I'm just looking to verify the product is safe to use.

 

Fixed propellers have oiled bearings where the liquid gets in contact with it through the fixed shaft. Magnetic drives are enclosed and separated from the bearing oils. So it's food grade.

 

I thought it also had to do with the type of plastic that is used? Like it had to be "new" or food recycled and not recycled oil containers...

 

I just ordered this pump for a HERMS stratification pump and it does state that it is food grade.

From the OP link...

"Food-grade: Yes"

Not sure I trust it, but that's what it says.

 

Yea, that's my whole point, I'm not sure I trust the ad...
