Chuggers

[Leann ull]

The problem with these pumps apart from the fact that they are direct rather than magnetic drive unlike the Chuggers or March products is they haven't been proven or adopted wholesale by homebrewers in the US that give them dogs abuse but they are overengineered for our purposes and I have yet to find anybody that has a problem with them.
There are some great reports coming out from those Chinese models being sold by Homebrew Builder, but I wouldn't be without my 1,2,3 
Valid point Bren about customer service but I have done 20-25 brews now on herms for 90 mins in about a third of them and whirlpool and never had an issue.
I also understand Chugger are about to start EU agents and customer support.

About 160 yoyos.
If we could get that down it may be an easier option.

Unless they redesign the housing Chuggers will never get CE approval!

"Vent holes in casing showing copper wires inside and its to be used in a wet environment"!

No way

Not sure if its legal to resell non-CE marked goods in EU. Thats why those big Blickman burners dried up!

[Leann ull]

Angel Homebrew claiming it has CE approval?

[Saruman (Reuben Gray)]

Are we still doing this? I'm about to place an order with Brew Builder for more bits and while they do chuggers, I was thinking of this slightly cheaper option: http://brewbuilder.co.uk/ts5-mini-mag-pump.html

Someone else in the NHC uses them.

Patience young grasshopper
They are half the flow rate and need a separate power supply.

I have one of those pumps from brewbuilder, its a topsflo, works a treat and you can adjust the flow rate with the ball valve outlet

Hi there,

Is there any progress on this?

[Saruman (Reuben Gray)]

I placed my brewbuilder order and didn't go for the pump so I'm waiting for the chugger.

[DEMPSEY]

For the purpose of getting this to move I am going to assume the people who did not state their preference of inline v centre are all going for inline as this is the most popular. I will nail down the final price with the chugger people. Because of the Greeks the Euro has slid against all currency's and this is why the valuation is hard to nail .

[Saruman (Reuben Gray)]

They are £137.50 on brewbuilder so if they are cheaper than that in the group buy, I will be happy
