I've run unto issues getting the saga of a brewery build working again. Now I've discovered my pump orientation is wrong and causing priming issues with my chugger pumps. I'll be ordering new stainless this week to reroute and change my orientation.
What's the consensus on hard piping a pump. I can use any orientation, I just would rather avoid a bleeder or auto vent if it's possible.
I have 3 pumps. HLT pump just feeds Mash Tun. Mash Tun pump recirculates through the HEX on one leg of a 3 way valve and fills the BK on the other. BK pump routes through a chilling coil on one leg of a 3 way valve and drains wort to fermenter on the other.
