Hi guys, I'm putting together a 1BBL system and CIP is going to be part of the process. I'm looking for a pump that will handle 170* F, not get eaten away by StarSan/PBW/or any other normal brew cleaning chems, and be able to put out a respectable psi/flow rate to drive the spray ball.
I see that several of you use sump pumps but I haven't found any that claim high temps... I've been looking at lawn/sprinkler pumps too and sort of finding the same story.
Up until now, it has been elbow grease that did the cleaning, so I'm not sure that my high temp requirement is actually a requirement, but it seems to be the way the big boys do it.
Thoughts?
