    Pump beating up mash

    Hello,

    Can you please give us a bit more information and we might be able to help.

    What make and model of pump is it?
    HP?
    RPM?
    How big is you mash tun?
    How quickly do you transfer?
    What size lines do you have and how long are they?

    Sorry for all the questions but we cant really help without all the information.
