March Maintenance

I suppose it's possible that I'm the only person in the world that
didn't realize March pumps require periodoc oiling. Shameful but true, I've been listening to my pumps occasionally squeal for months. After a little digging (much thanks to the helpful folks at Homebrewtalk.com) I found a pdf document from the manufacturer describing what oil, where to add, and how often to do so. My pumps are again smooth and quiet, just like their first use. So here's a heads up to all brewers with magnetic drive pumps...oil those guys twice a year with 20W non-detergent oil (4 to 5 drops in each resevoir will do). Happy brewing.
