Its a drill operated pump (ICYDK)

the only way i would use that is if it could be taken apart with the screws and check to see if there is any GREESE at the impeller bering and clean & sanitize it first

Yeah, probably not worth it. Just laying around at work and it interested me.

They are really a simple pump and removing the 3 screws seen in the picture allows you to completely disassemble it. Having taken one apart, I would never run my wort through one. I'm not fond of a rubbery taste in my beer and while I can't prove that this would cause it, why even try it when the autosiphon works so well.:rockin:

If by chance this is a peristalic pump:

There is pretty cool thread on here about using silicon hose to make it a wort pump.

Unfortunately it is not a peristalic pump but has a simple rubber impeller whose vanes bend at the narrow section to force the liquid out the exit hose.
