Since my power source is 1000mA I'm good, right?
You seem to have about the same system geometry I do for the relationship between the MLT and the BK (see attached pic). Mine are both 26 gal. Although I have only done it once, I had no problem pumping wort from the MLT to the BK. That is about the same as recirculating the wort for vorlauf. Worked well. I hope that helps.What I'm wondering about (before killing my pumps) is whether they are strong enough for filling MLT and BK through the bottom valves? It's not a need but I have the QDs and valves in place so why not?
I'm working with a 50L converted keggle for my MLT and a ~22 gallon BK. My set up can be seen here: http://itswhatsontap.wordpress.com/2014/05/27/brew-stand-brew-day/

Thanks, Brewitt.
But just to be sure, are you going in through the bottom of the BK? That's my big question. I'm sure the pump will handle a bit of the pressure but once I get to a certain point there's going to start being a fair bit of back pressure from the volume of wort. Can these pumps handle that? Same scenario/question as for HLT to MLT.
Can anyone confirm that my power source is appropriate for this pump?

The power source is correct.
I just got the same pump from Sears...just wondering where you got yours from?
So first of all it's hard to understand...they must use a translator or type poor English
Just trying to pass along the info...the emails quotes were cut and paste. Podz, I'd assume your response was a joke and not a criticism...because yes, I could not type Chinese at all.
It was a light jab at your criticism of their language skills. Please remember that we live in a world of many languages and the vast majority of people on this planet do not speak english as their mother tongue. I'm pretty damned impressed that they even answered you - that's a lot more than people do where I live.
...people ought to know.
People ought to know what?...people ought to know.
...If the one in the picture that Peruvian802 posted earlier is the one that him and other people have been getting from this eBay seller (or the many other merchants selling what seems to be the same one):...

Anyways, riderkb I came to the same conclusion. And now have a pump I'm probably not going to use...I've got some rewards points I could use at Amazon and now I'm considering getting a Chugger pump.
OK, thank you. Found it. So much to read through, skipped a lot of pages.
Which one did you find to use? Can you post a link possibly?
Can anybody confirm that this pump is the same thing as the sp20/20 and the p-38i? It doesn't say anything about being food grade.

I'll only be using it for sparge water.
I got this one, seems tougher and not maybe not as brittle. Hook up a switch to control the flow rate and a off and on switch and presto a nice wort pump. Just thought I share my idea after I read the reviews on the one from amazon it seems like it won't last long.

Sent from DMAC's iPhone using Home Brew
Just noticed it is out of stock
For anyone reading this, get the black one, not the tan one.
I've been using it for about a month now. I got the idea from someone on this post. He had the other tan one and told me this one appeared better. Like I said hooked up a dimmer switch to control the flow rate and a switch to shut it off and on. Here is another seller. Same pump just a dollar more or so.

Have you had any issues pumping the wort through it? I like the threads on this pump and moves twice the volume verses the one I bought.
Another question for those using the mini pumps, do you have yours connected onto the valve, or have a hose running from the valve to the pump. Seems as though it would pump more if connected close to the valve/source, but then would have to have longer wires from the pump to swithch.
