prcdc Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 I am trying to figure out an inexpensive way to pump how water to and from our hot water holding tanks (to fill lauder tun and sparge etc). I know the water temps will be about 150-170 F in the hot water holding tanks and probably 180-190 F when heating up sparge water from the mash tun to the lauder tun. I currently have a 20 GPM Jabsco Flexible Impeller Pump for hot mash and i know its limits are 175 F MAX. Another reason i would like a pump that can handle hotter temps is when i need to pump hot backset from the still. I do not have a budget but am looking for some solutions that won't break the bank. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a new one that I know is rated for 212F that we purchased. We also had a cheap used one from eBay that I did not know the temp rating on, but it lasted for about two years pumping our spent mash. Was a great option for us when starting on a super tight budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Lenerz Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Seems like a good job for a centrifugal pump, I'm assuming you are referring to just liquid backset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hudson bay distillers Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 grundfos pumps are great either in cast iron or in stainless , they go forever and are not expensive . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
