3/4 way through sparge yesterday, the 12V solar pump packed up. In a panic, removed it to replace with my spare only to find that its plastic drive shaft had broken too. To be fair, it had only failed due to me running it full voltage with restricted flow and no balance valve, for like, 20 brews or something. Managed to salvage the brew using gravity but was slow running through the counterflow cooler.
Thinking I should probably go for a 240V pump this time. Might have to inventive with fitting as theres not much space where the tiny 12V one was. Does anyone have a used Totton or something they're finished with? PM me
