I only brew 5-gal at time so this pump which is a replacement for one that died on me is great

These are great pumps. They work very well but you have to make sure that you have adequate liquid flow to the pump since it will not pull liquid through a dry hose.The plastic head is not a big deal for me since I have a valve and quick disconnects installed. It is tricky getting the valves threaded the first time so if you plan on screwing things on and off of the pump head, go for the steel head.

I've had this pump for a few years and it's a great addition to my setup. Once you get a handle on priming the pump, it's a breeze. I have it connected to a counter flow chiller and it makes cooling the wort very quick,easy and safe. Definitely recommend.

I have this pump and the 815 (non-high flow) and there is a huge difference. I never have to prime this pump, just open the valves and turn it one and it's pumping. I need to upgrade my impeller to the HF version at some point to make my old pump operate like this one. Never had any issue in over 3 years with this pump after dozens of batches. I do recommend buying some spare gaskets and nylon washers to have on had so you don't have stuck on a brew day.

I love my March pump, and use it for recirculating my mash and cooling via my plate chiller. I opted to use stainless quick disconnects at all of my pump, valve, and hose connections which makes re-routing the pump a lot easier.

Had this pump for about a dozen batches and never had any troubles, even with boiling wort. Be careful with the plastic threads and keep the fan covered, though.

I have used this pump for two years without any issues. It's a solid workhorse pump that has been extremely reliable. I would definitely buy another.

I use two pumps on my single tier stand. They both do exactly what I need them to do, but I didn't care for the plastic heads. The threads were finicky and didn't inspire much in the way of confidence. Once I replaced them with steel, I was able to get the connection I want and now I'm off and running!

I purchased two of these for my single tier brew stand. Both work without flaw. The only thing that could improve is if they came standard with stainless threads rather than plastic.

I don't know how I ever got along without one of these things. While i agree with the reviews that mention the plastic threads I've never had any issue with them because I immediately installed stainless sleeves and then added QDs to the pump so the threads have never been touched since and the pump has performed flawlessly

I used this on my HERMS system and it works great. I've left them on when dry and they didn't burn out. They push beer through my home made counter flow chiller with no problems. If they broke I would probably replace them with the same ones.

This pump is the best. I trade up from the chugged pump. It has less priming and cavitation problems. Well worth the extra money and made in U.S. too.

Wouldn't want to be without it today. It is my workhorse for pumping liquid around the brewhouse. It is a must have!

I have put my pump through many battles, and still going strong after 3 years. Minimal maintenance required. Great for moving liquids from container to container even at boiling temps.

I bought a chugger and a march pump, the march is still my favorite one, I don't like the noise the march one makes! However, first or second time you remove the ball valve and the plastic threads are gone, replace with chugger stainless steel head asap.

Great pump! This is a necessity for anybody looking to get into homebrewing. Saves precious time. One key point make sure you protect the back of the pump during your process so no wort or water is spilled on the fan.

This is a fantastic pump for moving boiling to cooled wort. Sure makes brewing easier and a must for using a counterflow chiller.

I bought two of these pumps and they are fantastic! However there's something more important to convey to you. One of the pumps had faulty threading on one of the 1/2" NPT fittings. I asked MoreBeer to send me a new pump head and just like that, the company ships me the part, no questions asked. I work in retail and MoreBeer's customer service and fast shipping is incredible. I have purchased a lot from this company and they never (not ever) disappoint me. Buy the pump for a quality product, buy from MoreBeer for the enhanced customer experience. Win/Win!

I had this pump for about a year and a half and it failed on me. So I bought a new stainless steel one and have not had a problem with it yet. Plus I like the fact that it cleans easier. Peace of mind!

This is a great pump for transferring beer around. I have one my system. It allows my back to be spared during a brewing session. A must have!

Great pump Great price

Great pump.

I have had to fix it a few times, but overall a nice piece of machinery. I would suggest this to others, especially to people with piping knowledge

This is a great product, but I couldn't give it 5 stars because of the quality of the plastic threads. Do yourself a favor and buy a steel head chugger pump instead.

This is my second March pump and use and abuse them. They keep on working like day one. I purchased this second one to recirculate my HLT for my HERMS system to keep the water in the kettle at an equal temperature.

Upgraded to an all-grain system and this made things so much easier. Never had any problem with these. They work great!

I've used this pump for a dozen 10 gallon batches. Cuts down chilling time tremendously. I'm able to cool my wort down to 70F straight from the kettle.

Awesome pump, we use it for sparging. Easy to use, clean and repair. If you want a multipurpose pump, a perastaltic pump that accepts 1/2" silicone tubing would be better. That is our next upgrade, but it comes with a cost.

I only wish it had an on and off switch. Other than that, I love it. Not too loud either. I've only used it once, but it seems like a very solid product.

Having owned a 5 gallon sculpture - (B3-500) since 2003 that I have since upgraded and modified to a 10 gallon system, and 3, 12 gallon conical fermenters, my assistant brewer and I decided to start brewing 2 batches per session. We found that we would get in a bind with only 1 pump once the second batch was underway. Consequently a second pump was ordered. Both pumps have worked flawlessly since they were added to the system. More beer has been my primary source of equipment for over 10 years and will continue to be for years to come.

what else can i say, used this pump for recirc, step mash and chill, when i was done with all that used it to flush the system with sanitizer. all done, pack it up call it a day, do it again tomorrow.

Whether recirculating the mash or whirl-pooling after the boil, this is a great pump. Put a ball valve on the out of this pump to control the flow speed and it's the perfect brewing accessory. One of the best upgrades I've made to my system was adding this pump.
