Totton twin head pump

[Cyclops]

Just bought a twin head pump to create a whirlpool at the end of the steep stage of the boil. This will be at around 80C so within the specs of the pump. It is a bit of a beast and rates at between 5l-50l a minute.

Would it be possible to connect the pump in series, out one head into the other to force more pressure though it? It is a mag driven pump too.

??dunno, i would try a restricting nozzel on the return to speed up and increase the force of the liquid returning to create the whirlpool first? its cheaper

am planning something similar and intend to drop down to 3/8" then 1/4" fittings for the return to hopefully achieve a similar result..

Looking at the the schematic both sides are the same, part number wise, and looking at it they also supply a cross bar as you were alluding to to join the heads up. I'm not sure if 2 heads pumping at the same rate connected in series increase flow or head height, hopefully someone on the forum will, sorry I can't be more help.

It shouldn't be too much of a problem anyway if not, I am planning on using it for whirl pooling and maybe even whirlpool the hlt to get an even temp
