My HERMS - Pumps

Last Updated on March 16, 2010

I got the pumps from ebay for about 27 quid each. They are used but are perfectly clean and serviceable. They are Totton GP20/12's which are magnetically coupled so that I can control the flow with a ball valve on the "out" side without causing stress on the unit.

I use one pump to pump the wort and another to pump clean water for doughing in and sparging. A lot of people seem to use just one pump but this only works if you batch sparge or if you use gravity for sparging in a fly sparge system.
