Chugger Pumps

Post by carrisr »

For those who are looking at pumps, the Chugger pumps have been redesigned and are back on sale. The poly head model is $99 and the SS head model is on special for $129. Jim Fuller has one of the previous models that had some cosmetic issues and is very happy with it.

The chugger pump works just like a March pump, but is cheaper. My SS head pump was cheaper than the standard March pump. Like a March, they are NOT self-priming, so they need to be below the liquid to be pumped.
