OK, I will be going from a 3 tier gravity system to a 2 tier system and will need a Pump. I brew 10 gallon batches and was trying to figure out which pump I need for my new system. Is the March 809HS-PL the one to get? Any advice would be appreciated. Share your knowledge with me. Thanks.

I do not have any experiance wiht this pump but if you do not mind that fact that it does not have threads on the input and output it may be worht a shot. The price seems good and it can handle up to 203*. https://cgi.ebay.com...tn=10&ps=63Edit .. nevermind that is 230v

Sorry about that. The march one that you have in your first post is the one my home brewers use. I had it and did not like it because I had some priming issues. I went with an Iwaki pump but they are more expensive than the march pumps. I think the march issues were operator error.

+1 I just switched my system from gravity to a single tier with that March pump this year. Took me a couple brews to nail down the best ways of doing everything but now everything runs great. I have more time to tend to other details while the pump does the work and my back is happier for it too!

This is a big consideration in the way you design your system and definitely part of the learning curve when incorporating a pump into your system. I made sure the pump was the lowest piece in the system and once I got into the groove of which valves to open at which time I never had another priming issue.
