The X-Dry Series Chugger Pumps offer the same quality and value, but now with "Run Dry Protection" to help avoid damage caused by cavitation.

The Chugger lineup of pumps represents a great value for an even better price. These pumps are workhorses in the brewery. Featuring a robust flow rate of 7 gpm, and a magnetic drive designed to handle back-pressure, these pumps are a great addition to any brewing setup! The Stainless Steel Chugger showcases their molded Stainless Steel Pump Head. This stainless pump is a steal for the price, and we've been more than happy with the quality! Use this to ease transfers between kettles, cool wort via a counterflow chiller, or recirculate icewater for quicker chilling!

This Chugger pump model has 1/2" MPT inlet and outlet, allowing easy configuration for any application! We recommend setting these pumps up with a Ball valve on the outflow side, this way you can throttle down the outgoing flow rate, allowing for more efficient sparges or cooling! The pump head can also be rotated 360° (in 90° intervals) allowing for even more customization!

Features:

  • Run Dry Carbon Bearing
  • Stainless Steel Inline Pump Head
  • Food Grade up to 250° F
  • 1/2" mpt inlet and outlet
  • High Flow rate of 7 gpm
  • Max Head 18.6 ft
  • 115v 55" cord and plug attached
  • 50/60 Hz, 1.4 amp
  • 1/20 HP, 3500 RPM

Note: When using silicone tubing, we recommend using a slighlty larger barb than the I.D. of the tubing. This is because silicone tubing tends to have greater pliability than most tubing. For example, when using 1/2" silicone tubing, we recommend a 5/8" barb to help ensure a better seal!

  • Works great - the adjustable head is a lifesaver.
  • Super quiet, pumps well and good price. Really happy with this one!
  • Quality pump, great price. Easier to use, smaller and simpler in design.

Quality Pump Great Price

I have a couple of the Blichmann Rip Tide pumps and prefer this one. I have had difficulty getting the wort to flow with the Rip Tide and find the Chugger is easier to use in my operation. It's also smaller and simpler in design. Both have Chinese AC motors. You need to remove four screws to take the head off the Chugger as opposed to a tri-clamp on the Rip Tide but it's not difficult.

Could this pump manage a run of 60 feet horizontally? My home does not allow for keeping my fermenters near my brewery.

Can you use a ball valve on it?

Hi Jason - Of course! These use a 1/2" FPT ball valve and we recommend placing on the outlet side of the pump.
