Cooled wort transfer pump suggestions?

[lknbigfish]

I am looking for a pump to move 15 gallon batches of cooled wort. would prefer one that is self priming or easy priming. i know little giant and march pumps are the pumps of choice but since i'm not moving hot wort, i'm hoping to find a cheaper alternative.

Any Suggestions?

Check out chugger pumps on eBay. I just bought two and they're a good bit cheaper than the march.

Any decent aquarium magnetic drive pump will move room temperature wort at a quick pace.

Pentair 1200 5 GPM 1/2" - $27.99

The OP wants self priming. These pumps are anything but self priming.

self priming would be real nice, how easy are the aquarium magnetic drive pumps to prime?

Same as a March pump, easy so long as the pump is slightly below the kettle.
