No load spit water: 1780cc ± 10%.

The pump head definitely looks like some sort of plastic to me, are we looking at the same pump :wha: If it's iron I wouldn't go near it.

Seen quite a few guys using them, Jim, Andy etc, look at norther brewers thread here
That other pump looks good to me, the head looks like the same material as the March and Totton pumps, throw them a quick question regards food safety.

we use a solar pump and it works very well have a look at www.solarproject.co.uk you may get one a bit cheaper

thats how we use ours

 

[tazuk]

sweet i see solar are 28 squid inc del and fittings wot do you use to controll pump speed cheers :thumb:

 

[Mark1964]

we use a 1500 ma plug in variable power supply it goes from 3v to 12v but ive never controlled the speed just used the bypass valve to control flow

 

[tazuk]

i was thinking of one of those train speed controler box things :thumb:

That will work too. When we bought our solar pump they were cheaper than the price you have seen. We also use the power adapter for our mag stirrer
