CHUGGER PUMP CPSS-IN-1 Stainless Steel 115 Volt Inline Home Brewing System Beer Pump, 55” Cord WITH Plug, Inlet 1/2” x Outlet 1/2” MPT, ETL-Certified, USFDA Food Compliant Materials

Works great....so so happy I bought this! Now I just need more quick disconnects. Pump makes transferring wort a breeze. No longer do I need to lift a mashtun or boil kettle...win

This pump is a game changer. Makes 10 gallon batches possible and cuts down brew time by 30-45 minutes. You no longer have to wait for hot water to slowly gravity feed.

I bought this on 21FEB2018 and got extremely busy and didn’t get to use it until mid May which is unfortunate because it does not work. All fittings I am using are 1/2 inch and the tubing is 1/2 inch silicone which is all identical to the set up I’m using on my other Chugger. As an experiment I cut 3/4” hose down to 3 ft in length and used clamp to the inlet and outlet directly. I placed the pump on the floor and the inlet side is being gravity fed water. The outlet side is held high enough that water will not flow automatically from gravity. Still nothing. I checked gasket/o-ring to make certain there was a good seal there. To confirm this, I capped the outlet side and connected the inlet side to a hose and turned on the water under 5psi and there were no leaks. Confirmed everything is seated properly.

Not enough pulling powerSeems weakI have a march pump runs circles around this pumpI probably bought the wrong pump

Works as advertised. Have Dana few brews through jt whirlpooling at flame out and have had no problems with it. Will probably buy a 2nd one.

Can the plastic rings inside be purchased separately? This pump works very well. Would like to have spare parts.

High quality pump. My only issue is that it's not variable speed and has too high of an output for a 5 and 10 gallon batches. I recommend investing in some good discharge piping and control valves to throttle back the flow for a more controlled system. Since its a chugger, it has a higher level of vibration by nature. I would recommend placing some rubber between the pump and the plate that you are mounting it too.

Plugged it in and it makes a noise, like one of the fan blades are hitting the motor case
