Cheap pump and FDA approved 12v 100c

Hi,
i'm considering on buying the pump you mentioned for a Braumeister inspired rig.
i'm guessing your familiar with it, but my intention is to recirculate wort from a big pot(45liters) into a small pot(20liters) full of malt, that way the wort goes through the grains, overflowing and falling into the bigger pot again. (the small pot is in the bigger one)

anyway...
my question is if you think that this pump is going to get the job done.
i'm kinda skeptical on buying such a tiny pump, to so this.

maybe this one with bigger flow rate:

Thanks alot.

The two pumps you linked are both 12v pumps... if you want the stronger pump you should use the 24v version which is more powerful and has a higher flow. this is what I use.

Curious on the longevity you are all getting out of these small pumps? It's been a couple years since I started the thread.

I had a bad experience with the two pumps I mentioned in earlier posts. I splurged on a marsh pump and have been extremely happy with it.

I have 6 of them and have over 50 brew sessions plus hours of recirculating pbw through my setup with them for a couple years.... Mine all work fine but I took the precautions such as good filtering to prevent sucking up grain into the pump or restricting flow too much and causing cavitation which also ruins any pump.
