I know these just hit the market, so not too many have used this pump yet. I bought one to replace one of my Chugger pumps because I loved the features, especially the quiet operation and ease of cleaning. The main problem I am having is the pump will start to scream if I run boiling wort through it (this is how i sanitize my chiller and pump in the last ten minutes of the boil). My chugger would tend to cavitate at higher temps too, but if I throttled it back a little it was fine. It seems to make no difference how much I throttle this one back, it will start screaming in a matter of seconds. this is a huge problem if I can't solve it. I also thought this would control flow easier than a ball valve, but it is very hard to dial in a slow flow for sparging. Over all I LOVE the pump, but if I can't use it to pump boiling wort, it really knocks down the value to me. I will contact Blichmann about it, but was just wondering if others had had this issue.
Thanks
