I have used one for about a year now. Dead nuts simple and effective. So much easier than fly sparging. Also, it works well for pump circulation during the mash. Very nice product. Well worth the price.

I've used mine in my cooler MLT with a pump and gravity fed and I love it.

My HLT gravity drains into my MLT so I have never felt the need for an automated device, the flow rate into the MLT just isn't that critical as long as the grain bed stays covered.

Ditto. I had one but sold it. Gravity feed from HLT to MLT works great. Keep it simple.
