Review on 🌞 bayite BYT-7A006: Quiet DC 12V Solar Hot Water Heater Circulation Pump with 3M Discharge Head and 2.1GPM Flow Rate by Richard Payne

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good starter pump for home brewing but needs some attention.

For the water pump this would be a 5 star rating. If you buy for it, then this is definitely a good water pump. My purchase was for a home brew pump. I wasn't expecting anything too amazing, but I was pleasantly surprised with the initial performance. The pump speed is a bit slow for me to get a really good hot tub, but good enough to keep the circulation going so my heating elements don't ignite the wort. The second time I used the pump it wouldn't start. I had to disassemble and clean it again before it worked. I thought maybe I didn't clean it well enough after previous use. At the end of the brew day I cleaned the pump and decided to leave it disassembled until I needed it again. On my third use I reassembled the pump, connected all the hoses, plugged in the pump and it didn't work. . I had to disassemble the impeller, turn it several times to make it work, after which it was removed. Well, for what she is, she's doing a decent job. It is very quiet and has no problems with wort thinner and small hop pellets. I recommend a hop spider to keep the larger hop particles from clogging the pump. If you're looking for a homebrew pump, this is a good entry-level option. Just make sure to clean it well and check the rotation before connecting everything.

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Update availability
