March High Flow Homebrew Pump – on sale for $219.99, TODAY Only

March Pump – Polysulphone

More Info

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

The History of MoreBeer! & March
Many years ago MoreBeer! worked with March Pumps to release what is now the standard pump in the homebrewing community, their model 809 (our H315) with a polysulfone head and 6′ cord with plug. Thousands and thousands of these pumps have been sold to homebrewers.

The New Design
Now, with a slight design modification, the new model nearly eliminates past cavitation issues (where the impeller spins in an air pocket and no liquid moves). We’ve been testing/using the pump with our BrewSculptures for several years now and are extremely happy with the results, so much so that we are completely replacing the H315 with the high flow model.

Still Works the Same
The new model comes with all the great features of the original – magnetic drive, handles flow restriction, okay for boiling temperatures, 6′ cord with plug, food-grade materials in contact with the liquid, 1/2″ ports, etc. – but now features a different slightly higher flow rate with less issues of cavitation.

The magnetic drive in a March pump acts as a clutch allowing the user to put back pressure on the pump to slow down flow. Since it is magnetic drive, it is not self-priming, you must put the pump below the level of the liquid source. This pump cannot be run dry.

Additional Notes
To restrict flow place a ball valve on the out flow of this pump.
This is the pump we install and use on all of our BrewSculpture brewing systems.
We stock polysulfone replacement heads, H317, in case the threads are damaged.
If you are looking for a pump for a larger home brewery or small nano brewery you can also look at our H325 Nano Brewery pump from March.

Features List
Included bracket for mounting
6′ power cord with plug wired in for easy use
115V – 50/60Hz
Maximum flow of just over 7 gpm (at zero head)
Maximum head of 18 feet (at zero flow)
1/2″ mpt fittings on both inlet and outlet.
Materials in contact with solution: Polysulfone, 316 stainless steel, silicone rubber, Ryton and Teflon
1/25 hp, continuous-duty, thermal overload protected, single phase 1.4 Amp motor
Motor is fan cooled
Will handle internal pressures to 50 psi.
Max temp rating: 250F
Face unscrews and rotates at 90 degree intervals to adjust to your application.

Hands on Review: Chugger Pumps X-Dry Series Homebrew Pump

Update: July 19, 2024

This review is by Homebrew Finds Reader Benji S. Benji has been brewing for 10 years. His favorite style is Festbier. He’s an all grain brewer and member of WIZA (Whidbey Island Zymurgy Association). Check him out on Instagram at neon_hop

Making beer is all-together extremely fun, rewarding, messy, and labor intensive. Want an example? Look no further than the need to transfer large volumes of liquid, at varying temperatures, between and through multiple containers. Mashing, sparging, boiling, racking, and cleaning all require gallons of liquid transfer. Liquid is both heavy and resistant to being easily moved around en masse. Introducing new equipment into your brew day can often mean finding new and interesting ways you now have to fight against both of these obstacles. Having recently acquired a Spike CF5 conical, I’ve found myself in this exact position, often wondering “How do I even fill and clean this thing effectively?”. In terms of equipment, adding a Brewing pump to the equation has become the de facto ways to help answer these questions.

My Homebrew Pump Selection Criteria

I’ve been brewing for well over a decade, but using a pump in the process is new to me. Approaching a new piece of equipment requires some evaluation of what you want it to do, what expectations you have for how it will work, and what your budget will be to balance against. The feature set I arrived on during my search largely came down to this:
Stainless Steel head to reduce the chance for plastic pieces from rubbing of the propeller
Head assembly should be fairly easy to take apart to aid in cleaning

1/2” NPT connections on the ports, as I already had 1/2” connectors to convert them to quick disconnects
At least 3” of cord length as the power outlets tend to be a bit far away where I typically brew
Needs to be 115v
Price range of $100-150
Targeted Uses (in order of importance): CIP cleaning of my conical, transferring from the kettle to the conical, fly sparging

Stainless Steel 3/4″ to 1/2″ Reducer for Center Inlet Chugger Pumps

Stainless Steel Reducing Coupler for Chugger Center Pumps

More Info

Highlighted Features

3/4" FPT tp 1/2" MPT
Hex nut for easy secure fit
304 stainless steel
Fits Chugger center pumps
Reduces size from 3/4" to 1/2 standard

1/2″ fittings seem to be pretty standard for homebrewers. Center inlet Chugger Pumps are a little different compared to most high temp homebrew pumps with regards to fittings. Most homebrew pumps are 1/2″ NPT threads on both the “in” side and the “out” side. The center inlet pump is 1/2″ NPT on the “out” side and 3/4″ NPT on the inlet side. Some people want this to be 1/2″ also, so a fitting is required.

This fitting is nice because it is female to male. A lot of ball valves are female, so this would allow you put a female threaded ball valve on without the aid of another fitting.

Hands on Review: Blichmann Engineering Riptide Brewing Pump Upgrade Kit – Upgrade Your March or Chugger Pump

July 7, 2024

Tell anyone that you spend hours cleaning as part of a hobby, and you’ll probably get a few odd looks. Unfortunately this is our reality as Homebrewers. Planning, prepping, cleaning, and waiting take up large percentages of any given batch. We often chase new ingredients, techniques, equipment, and short cuts in an effort to reduce the time we spend on these areas. Sometimes introducing new equipment into your process can make some parts of these tasks easier, while introducing new steps to others.

Pumps help move around lots of liquid in a short amount of time, reducing the need to lift heavy kettles or pots. They also introduce some additional planning needed for connecting vessels in a loop of hosing and cleaning after use. This has essentially been the summary experience I’ve had with my Chugger X-Dry [Hands on Review]. In the never ending quest for reducing the time and effort needed to use it, I looked at what changes I could make to my setup to make using it even simpler.

Blichmann Engineering is well known for high quality and well designed equipment targeted at Homebrewers. It should be no surprise then that their Riptide pump is a fairly feature packed model compared to others on the market. Particularly their TC clamp attached pump head with built in flow control and priming valve. In recognition of their audience, Blichmann also produces an upgrade kit that offers these same features to anyone with a Chugger or March pump.

Upgrading my Chugger X-Dry with their kit seems like a perfect way to take a good pump and make it even better, hopefully shaving some steps off of the prep and cleaning process in the meantime.

Criteria

My original criteria when looking for a pump were largely satisfied by the Chugger X-Dry, but there were a couple of criteria that were lacking, namely:

Head assembly should be fairly easy to take apart to aid in cleaning]
Flow control valve for use when sparging
Easy and intuitive to prime and get started

As the Riptide conversion kit is meant to solve many of these things, it made a natural candidate for trying out an upgrade to see if I could improve the usability experience. Additionally, my experience with the X-Dry suggested it was fairly easy to get into a state where it was cavitating. My hope was that the purge valve would help alleviate, or solve, this issue.
