Has anyone ever tried this pump?

It is a lot cheaper but does it do the job?

share your thoughts.

I am putting up a 50 Litres kit and gathering parts here and there. OBK as good prices and fast delivery.

Thanks.

I have one. It's made by Topsflo. There are several sellers in Canada, greatbreweh.com also sells them along with the ac adapter. It does work great, but if ANY leaf hops get into it it will shut down. You'll need some sort of hop spider to use it effectively. I have mine mounted directly to my kettle with quick releases.

This look like a 50 liter pot, how long does it takes to empty? Just wondering what sort of flow i'll get.

I have been trying to find a hop stopper most i found are very expensive.

It's a 15 gallon pot. It takes around 10 minutes to pump 6 gallons of hot wort through my 30 plate chiller and into the bucket. I throttle back the flow though since lately my hose water has been around 80 degrees. It does work great, I really like being able to mount it directly to my brew kettle.

Many thanks for your informations.

Thank you. My wife and I painted our entire garage when we bought the house with the splatter technique.
