1. In the mash you should make sure you have the two pieces of false bottom that fit the best together and make sure you have them pressed down as tight as possible, watch the center seam.
2. In the boil kettle bag your hops and don't use the false bottom at all. Nor the pipe that lead to the bottom. The pipe just pulls everything off the bottom that has settled while cooling.This is the junk that will plug the pump, at the worst time. You should also end up with a cleaner primary and of course an even cleaner secondary.
3. It appears that the "clog" we are seeing is stuff clogging those scrubbies at the bottom. Anybody using in future should plan NOT to put them below the outlet pipe. The problem is not the pumps.
