Pretty good pump

Review by John Anderson on 1/27/2017

Actually, I bought this right after Williams started offering them. I was going to wait till I had used it for a while to get an honest impression. I have it side by side with a Chugger on my brew stand and in short, it keeps pace just fine. I use it to recir. my HLT water and delivering my sparge water to my MT while my other pump pushes my Herms line. I've only had 1 issue with it. The rotating magnets that spin the impeller seemed to freeze up between batches. Not the impeller, just the rotating magnets that drive the impeller. I had to completely remove the head, spin them by hand to get them going, then re-attach the head. Afterwards it worked great again. That's only happened twice in all this time. Aside from that, it's done great. I did finally crack the original plastic head. I'm ordering the SS version today. I'd definitely recommended if your on a budget. Even if you get the SS head right off the bat, it's still less than the other pump base models with plastic heads.

Mark II Wort Pump

This pump performed without any problems! I would buy this pump over a Chugger/March pump any day. Its very cost effective when trying to set up your brewing station when money is tight. I also bought the stainless steel head, I would recommend this although the other head that came with the pump seemed very sturdy.

A Good Little Pump

I like this pump, it's well made, quiet and inexpensive . Even if you add the stainless head(recommended) it still costs much less than other wort pumps. I was impressed with these pumps, was expecting lesser quality for the price.

Mark II Keg King Pump

Review by Scott on 10/28/2016

Rock solid brew pump for more than half the cost of some others I won't name. I'm running my 15 gallons of wort from the pump into a filter and then the chiller and a long run of 25 feet to my Brewmaster, shall I say it flows rather easily with the pump pushing the way. I mounted mine with rubber isolators to keep a slight vibration on the brew table now no fear of my gear vibrating off the table. May have to get another for dedicated whirlpool. The only dislike is I got the stainless head and the machining for the output could have been more milled, had to do my own machining to stop a little bit of captivation the first run.

Works Fine

This is my first pump, so I only have other comments and using industrial pumps in the brewing industry to compare it to. I ordered the stainless pump head, and I'm glad I did as the poly head seemed too weak. Changing the head was very simple. So far I have used it three times. I used it to transfer fifteen gallons of water from ground level to at least five feet up. I have also used it to whirlpool at flame out. So far I have it has had no problems with power drops or transferring from stresses caused by too much pressure. The only reason I give it four stars is that I believe a larger motor pump could transfer faster. Also it needs to be mounted to something so it won't tip forward . Otherwise I am completely satisfied. For the price I believe this is a great introduction to using a pump in brewing.
