March High Temperature Brewing Pump - High Flow H315HF
A NEW MoreBeer! exclusive. This pump replaces our H315. On the outside it looks like the old favorite, but some internal tweaks have improved performance.
The History of MoreBeer! & March
Many years ago MoreBeer! worked with March Pumps to release what is now the standard pump in the homebrewing community, their model 809 (our H315) with a polysulphone head and 6' cord with plug. Thousands and thousands of these pumps have been sold to homebrewers. Talk to most pump owners and they love the pump - except for sporadic problems with cavitation. This is an issue where the impeller spins but fluid does not flow.
The New Design
Now with a slight design modification the new model eliminates almost all of these issues. We've been testing/using the pump with our BrewSculptures for several months now and are extremely happy with the results, so much so that we are completely replacing the H315 with the high flow model.
Still Works the Same
The new model comes with all the great features of the original - magnetic drive, handles flow restriction, okay for boiling temperatures, 6' cord with plug, food-grade materials in contact with the liquid, 1/2" ports, etc. - but now features a different slightly higher flow rate with less issues of cavitation.
The magnetic drive in a March pump acts as a clutch allowing the user to put back pressure on the pump to slow down flow. Since it is magnetic drive, it is not self-priming, you must put the pump below the level of the liquid source. This pump cannot be run dry.

This is the pump we install and use on all of our BrewSculpture brewing systems
We stock polysulphone replacement heads, H317, in case the threads are damaged. If you are looking for a pump for a larger home brewery or small nano brewery you can also look at our H325 Nano Brewery pump from March.
