Water pumps

[holliday]

What kind of water pumps do you all use for your condenser and how many gph?

I run a 134 GPH 120 Volt pond pump on top of a 55 gallon barrel

What size condenser do you have?

It will depend mainly on the column height if you have a reflux still... pumps are rated on how high they will pump and amount at that height. Little bit of advise would be to over buy because they do get week over time. So, say your keg is on top of a turkey fryer, tower on top of that, and reflux inlet is 7'... get one that will pump to atleast 9', 12' would be better...

I use a bilge pump @ about 300 gph as i recall. At the boat place for about $50 six years ago. Still going strong, they sell parts, ie new impellers, motors, the base housing even. Run it off a 12 v battery charger with an amp gauge, no prime = about 1/2 amp or less, (needle barely moves off peg) when pumping agua = about 2 amps. I know when I have flow. -hey-

I use a 50 psi on demand 12v pump powered with battery charger with an inline ball valve to control flow. Close the valve, pump shuts off, open valve wide open and it runs wide open and anything in between.
