Just wanted to say thank you one more time to Chugger. Ordered Wednesday, and just got email telling me my package had arrived. Super customer service and super shipping.

The new addition to the family :

This is a center pump and the in-comming fluid port is in the center and the out going is facing up. The center inlet is 3/4" and the out let is 1/2". The in-line is 1/2" in and out. I have an inline and it works great. But others have said the centers are better.

$5, and the center inlet is 3/4"

mmc13 is still a valid code. i just bought mine

The code just worked for me as well. 2 new pumps on the way

Mike was a huge help to me when I missed out on the all plastic one, steering me to the SS model, which I kind of preferred anyway. Glad I scored two while I could. Now I have to figure out how to justify the purchase to my wife! (I think the "Look how much I saved" should work)
Thanks, Mike and Chugger for the great service and support. Can't wait to put these babies to work.

Waiting to pull the trigger on something in the Stainless Steel arena...

Speaking of pumps, I have a 3 tier, gravity fed system. I want a HIGH QUALITY, Long lasting pump. I have gone through 2 March Pumps in my 20 year brewing career,and I thought I was done with pumps. Yet here I a am looking for another one. Ineed you recommendations for a HIGH QUALITY, long lasting pump for a 15 gallon system. I want to try Whirlpooling wit this pump.

Sorry about all the spelling errors in my previous post. Ithink my Lap Top might be very tired...:smack::smack:

Both of thePumps that I talked about in the above post only lasted me about 6 months. I know better than to run a pump dry, so that wasn't the issue. The pumps simply stopped working. Crossing my fingers as I am ordering a Center Chugger tonight.

Unfortunately, despite the best customer service efforts of Agnes at Chugger, I am simply not meant to have one of these -- and it sounds like it will be the same story for all Canadians. Due to a shipping increase last Friday, and some (incredibly high) duties at the border, a stainless centre in pump comes in way, way above $200 -- likely more like $250, even when using the promo code. As much as I want one, there's no way I can spend that much on it.

Anyways American friends, enjoy your Chuggers! I'll have to go with the "value brand" version this side of the border.

Stoked about this.

So, since there's no switch on this thing, as soon as it hits power it will turn on correct?

 

[sweetcell]

yup. you need to provide external on/off switching, i.e. something that cuts the power.

i am going to use something along these lines: http://www.homedepot.com/p/t/202077706?catalogId=10053&langId=-1#.UT4l1ldKtcI. i've seen similar with two switches and two plugs, so i'll have a central spot to turn both of my pumps on/off (would fit under a face-plate like this one: http://www.homedepot.com/p/t/202216729?catalogId=10053&langId=-1#.UT4mVldKtcI). a buddy of mine simply plugs and unplugs the pumps from the extension cord.

What did you get charged for duty? Was it brokerage fees? Tax? or actual duty? How did they ship it? Its brutal if they use FedEx/UPS ground.

Nice! Thanks for that. Since my primary use will be for whirlpool I'm just going to not plug it in until it's primed and ready to be turned on.

Once I get my RIMS with PID set up I'll have a switch like the one you noted for it and for my element. Cheers

Shipping one of these to Canada via USPS Medium Flat rate runs $40 and as far as I know, customs doesn't mess with USPS boxes all that much as far as duty is concerned. Way over $200?

Agnes quoted me $60 to ship to Canada via USPS (up from $40 last week, she said they were notified of a price increase on Friday), and she said the duty at the border with USPS averages another $60.

right, in fact you should incorporate the pump's switch into your controller box, this guy or this guy.

 

[PistolsAtDawn]

Just wanted to say thanks to Chugger for the promotion! Can't wait to use my pump!

This doesn't make sense. Flat rate boxes (medium) are $41 to Canada. And you should only have about $20 or so in fees when you get it.

I could see $60 in extra fees if it was UPS, however.

Hmm, that's awful confusing then -- I made sure to confirm what was up with Agnes. Have you ordered from them recently -- is that where the $20 estimate comes from?

 

[RLinNH]

The Promo Code didn't work for me.

 

[AllanMar]

USPS should be $8 brokerage fee plus tax, unlikely you would have any actual duty.

Subscribed...waiting for S.S. inline.

 

[rustoleum]

Just tried purchasing two SS center pumps but the sight says invalid code.

 

[WroxBrew]

Subscribed. Hoping there will be a code for the SS center soon

 

[TIPA0303]

Subscribed. Hoping there will be a code for the SS center soon

The SS center already came and went. I think the only one left is the SS inline.

 

[cliffhanger1821]

Will there be any madness in the form of replacement stainless heads?

 

[fork]

I am also waiting to see white smoke. I mean a deal on the stainless inlines.

 

[chuggerpumps]

There was an incredible amount of demand during the promotion, but unfortunatly the madness must end. Thank you all and keep checking for future promotions.
