Cheap pumps

[Logan1891]

I had a chance to use the Mark II pump today. I should've posted this here.

Did the same, successfully repaired with jbweld. Further I reinforced it with a thick collar of the same. As a preemptive strike I also reinforced my other no broken pump as well.

Buy the stainless head.

I just went on a test run with this thing and broke the top off.

Quiet pump, though.

jbraaten, do you find that the pump body /housing is rugged enough? I'm not set up to use a pump just yet, but I would want the stainless head anyway. I'm trying to reduce the amount of plastic in my brewing process.

It works pretty darn well. I have been happy with it this far.

After having broken the inlet off my cheap pump I have routinely reinforce them by adding a collar of JBweld around the in and outs. Haven't broken one since.
