Wondering who is using a thomsen pump with an external seal, specifically as their wort pump.
We have been having problems with leakage around the shaft. We've replaced parts (seal kits, back plate, mounting bracket) with no improvement and even bought a complete pump unit from Thomsen and it developed a slow leak over about a week and a half.
The people at Thomsen have been great and are sending us a new unit with a external seal no charge in exchange for our recently purchased pump.
The only issue I see using one is that the external seal needs a small supply of water to keep it lubricated.
The tech told me that this issue isn't uncommon, that its almost a 50/50 break with breweries having the same problem with leaks we have had.
So, is anyone using one, and how has it performed if you have?
Thanks
