I know march pumps are considered the best for pumps in homebrewing but has anyone ever heard of little giant pumps..... 1/10th HP and they are also magnetic drive. I have seen them on ebay for around 50 - 75 bucks.

I suppose it depends on your application. The pump face on the march pump is made from polysulphone and can withstandd temperatures up to 250F. I'm not positive but I don't think the little giant pumps can handle that kind of heat. If you're pumping boiling wort, sparge water or hot wort ( I would assume you will be since it's for a RIMS system ) it would quite literally melt the pump face, impeller and seals.

+1 for the March pumps... There really is a reason that they are the "standard." They just work. IMHO - they are the most "reasonably" priced product which meets a brewers requirements - heat, head pressure, cost...

Austin claims to have best price on the March 809. NB also carries it at a good price if you usually shop there.
I had trouble at first b/c I thought if water was reaching the pump it was primed. Not really. Since I started laying down the outbound tube until water flowed out it has worked like a charm.
