Cleaning my traditional magnetic drive stainless steel pump head requires disassembly from the mount near the floor, this kit is just a tri-clover fitting, which makes it some much easier. The added benefit of a purge valve and a linerar flow control valve make this a no-brainer.

This is so dang easy to clean after every use! It’s very solid and heavy. I expect other than the gasket this will outlive the pump. I have never been able to start my march pump so quickly - just pull the PRV and plug it in. I also constantly had to turn it off and back on because of air bubbles prior to this upgrade but since that hasn’t been an issue once
I completely endorse the Blichmann's upgrade kit. It was easy to install on my March pump that I had for years. With the adjustable knob you can regulate the flow more accurately then the lever valve I had been using. I've used it for 4-5 brews and I am comepletely satisfied !!!
I replaced another brand SS pump. It seemed every brewday I would have a pump issue and troubleshooting with boiling hot wort is no fun. This one is very easy to clean. The pressure relief and built in valve are very helpful when setting up my recycle and whirlpool. I attached it directly to my brew stand, so I did not use the mounting plates
Great up grade on the Chugger pump, easy to install,and prime pump. Better flow control and No Cavitation Problems. Great Upgrade for small brewing pumps.
Really great purchase in my opinion. I upgraded 2 of my 4 year old March pumps and gave them a new lease on life. Love the Tri-Clamp fittings! Makes the pump head super easy to disassemble and clean. The integrated flow control is a nice addition as well.
For me the process took about 30 minutes per pump. It was pretty simple to do.
I own two stainless chugger pumps with the center out port. I have a three vessel herms system. One pump recirculates the hot liquor tank water and the other pump is reused to recirculate the mash and transfer to the boil kettle. I always disassemble the chugger pump that touches the mash/wort to clean it. It is a pain in the butt taking out all the screws and putting it back together. This Blichmann upgrade allows me to disassemble my pump, clean it, and put it back together in less than two minutes. For me it has been worth it. As an added bonus, I find the pump to be slightly quieter and more powerful.
