In search of a pump

[basszombie666]

I am looking for a March pump for a good price. Also wondering if there are any other pumps just as good?

Yes. Chugger pumps with a stainless steel head. They work great and last. You can find good deals for them online.

I bought a Chugger with SS Head for less that the cheapest March. I'm very pleased with it.

Right on guys I was wondering more than just the two options we have as home brewers.

When I dropped my March pump and killed it (the motor, not the pump head), I snatched a Chugger that happened to be on sale for $100 to use until I got the March pump repaired. I ended up repairing it myself (saved a few bucks there!). The Chugger appears to be a near-clone. I don't really have a preference between these two (except for the price difference). What I'd like to find is a cheap unit to use just for HLT recirculation, to avoid temperature differentials. Shouldn't need a real beer pump for that.

Thanks for all the info guys picked up a march for $75!! My next question though is I see some people building cases for them is that really necessary or even a good idea ?
