If buying, just be aware that not all chillers have python pumps.

Good to know, is there an outside indication that it has/hasn't got a pump? like a switch or something or bigger housing? Just so i know what I'm looking at when i see it :D

The upturned s/s tubes should indicate recirculation, but best to ask...

fairly easy to spot the difference...

the recirc pump in/out posts are 2 SS tubes similar to the product in/out posts, but sit apart (above?) and on my 310 are bent thru 90 degree and are free swivelling

if only product posts then its not got a re circulator pump but an agitator instead.....
