Has anyone used this for a pump ?

My all grain setup is expanding everytime i draw it out on paper, it seems that with each bit i buy i think of another that i need - hence a pump. originally i was planning to use a jug to raise water to the HLT at the top of the system and then use that lovely free gravity to do the rest but I have chickened out of this solution on the grounds that one day i'll tip the jug over me

So - has anyone used this as a pump http://www.leylandhomebrew.com/item1458.htm or any other suggestions for a pump . I'll be using it to raise the water for the mash (and sparging) and transfer from the underback to the copper which will be at the same level roughly . I will be mounting the pump beneath the bench so hopefully whichever one I go for should prime without too much fuss. Looking forward to your comments / suggestions.

Yiu can buy a brand new magnetic coupled pump on Ebay from a seller called normanumpa.

They usually come in at around £60.00 with the postage and are used by loads of people on Jims.

They are the GP12/20 Totton bump and work very well.

Being magnetic coupled they are easily controlled via a ball valve and allow very slow flow rates.

The drill type pumps work but there is a chance of grease contaminating the wort or so I have read.

Go for the Totton You won't regret it.

I would have a word with 'Norm', he sells Totton pumps for similar money.

Got one for my birthday a few months ago, they work really well
