396 GPH Submersible Pump + Recirculating Draft Line Cleaning Build
396 Gallon Per Hour/GPH Submersible Pump by EcoPlus. 396 Gallons per hour. Included fittings: three-.75″ Barbed x .75″ Threaded, two-.5″ Barbed x .75″ Threaded and Nozzle x .75″ Threaded. Pre-wired 69 inch 120v power cord.
I use a similar pump (although different) for a recirculating draft line cleaning setup. Note that fittings sizes are different on this pump vs the one I use in that build. Adjust accordingly Another possible homebrewing application would be to set this up for use a part of a recirculating wort chiller setup.
Twitter Follower – connect with HBF on Twitter – Blaine Says… “That pump works great during wort chilling. A sink full of ice water pumped through the immersion wort chiller is fast.”

I just put together this pump (396gph) and it runs perfectly fine with my 12′ 3/16″ ID lines. I’m honestly surprised that people are having issues, because it worked flawlessly for me. I followed the fitting guide from one of the commenters in the build article instead of doing the carbonation cap method, perhaps that’s part of the reason mine works.
Bought the more powerful one but it still was a little more than a trickle – so I returned it.
