We’ve had one of these for a couple of years now and it’s ideal for use in the wine shed, filling 60 litre containers, racking, blending – and filling 10 L and 20 L BiB’s, as well as 5 L demijohns. As with any pump, there is some CO2 release but I find it’s fairly minimal – certainly nothing I’ve had to worry about. I will continue to use my Shurflo as it will get more use than any other larger, more powerful pump. And being 12v all you need is an old battery and it is also eminently portable as well as safe.
