Today is a sad day. I couldn't brew today because my 809 has officially kicked the bucket (tested it before brewing, thank God) and efforts to clean the impeller, etc. has made no appreciable difference. I've only had the darn thing for a year. Just to clarify, the application for this pump is for my Shirron plate chiller. I've found a lot of possible replacements for my March 809 and my search has me running all around the internet with no clear choice. I'm hoping you can help me make an educated decision. Aside from manufacturer and model, I'm mostly concerned about getting a new pump, with enough power for my chiller, in a reasonable time frame.
I'm looking at the Little Giant 3-MD-MT-HC right now. It's runs at 500 GPM and 1/25 HP. This leaves me with a couple questions. First, is this usable in a homebrewing application? Second, do you folks have any alternative suggestions to the Little Giant (not March, please!) Finally, I'm trying to figure out if there are any reputable retailers out there that some of you may have dealt with prior. Thank you all in advance, I appreciate your help!
