For your information, this AC pump is similar in performance to the BC
model that we previously quoted. The pump performance is exactly the same....the difference is in the motor. The BC motor is a Blast Cooled motor and a lot more expensive than the AC motor which is an air cooled motor. Both are fan cooled......and both are designed to handle your application. If you choose to purchase this pump, please place your order with our authorized distributor in San Jose, Ryan Herco Flow Solutions 1-800-848-1141,
[email protected] When placing this order please tell RHFS that the order should be sent to the attention of Fred Zimmermann, at the factory. He is familiar with this application and can guide this order thru our production department. When installing this pump in your brewing system, we strongly recommend connecting the motor cord to a GFCI outlet. Thanks for your interest in our brewing pumps and if you need any other information, you can always contact me.
