Pump

pensfan6671 · Aug 25, 2015

I am looking for a pump and not sure which is better. I see The steel head pump, March pump and chugger pump. What pumps do you recommend? Price is not of concern. I just want to make sure I get a pump that will last.

I like the center inlet chuggers. Primes easily, pumps quickly. I'm not sure how long it will last, probably a long time if I take care of it. I think any of those pumps will die on you if you abuse them.

My center inlet chugger pumps seem to be working well.

Another center inlet ss chugger fan here. They seem to be just fine.

I've got two 2-year-old steelheads that are still running strong.

I have these March pumps. Honestly I expected them to be a little less fussy than they are for $400 each. I'd save a few hundred and try the Steelhead from Chugger.

They also have 3/4" inlets which I haven't found a use for yet, but did have to buy some SS couplers to down size them....maybe that's my problem now that I think about it.
