I was doing some re-plumbing and needed to reposition the head of my March pump. While the head was off I decided to open it completely just to verify that there was no crud inside. Well to my surprise there was crud inside. I should mention that I run a clean shop--oxiclean at the beginning and end of every brew day, with a soak and long recirc with the pump, followed by fresh water, etc.
On the impeller I found a tiny stripe of beer residue on the stainless magnet housing exactly inline with each vane ('6' in diagram), everything else was sparkly clean. I'm supposing that the vanes block the flow of cleaning solution and allow a buildup.
Has anyone else seen this?
