Hi Micheal, thanks for your comment. Currently, you cannot use additional equipment, such as your pumps, when processing a batch in the brewhouse. You can use pumps on transfers for primary and secondary vessels, which would register their usage for maintenance, but I understand that this differs from what you are after with this query for their use in the brewhouse. You can set up your brewhouse pumps as a piece of equipment with a cleaning and maintenance process and schedule that is prompted via time rather than usage. For example, a maintenance check on your brewhouse pumps every two months. Likewise, if you need to de-scale your heating elements, you could set this up on a time-based schedule, alerting you when this needs to be done. However, I think your point raised is great, and it would be really handy to use equipment more freely in Breww, including when brewing a batch. We have an open feature request for the [Ability to assign equipment when starting a new batch](https://community.breww.com/t/ability-to-assign-equipment-when-starting-a-new-batch/2571) and for the [Batch Schedule to include equipment as well as vessels](https://community.breww.com/t/batch-schedule-to-include-equipment-as-well-as-vessels/836). If you could vote on these and add your comments, that would be fantastic. Cheers!
