upgraded pumps?

Post by austontatious »

I want to set up my new rig with big boy pumps for cooling circulation. Aquarium pumps are too little, What type of pump do I need to be researching? I want more gpm, more head, etc.
Also, what should I look for as a mash pump, like if I want something that will pump oatmeal?

Pond pump would be good for cooling water but I don't think it will last very long pumping oatmeal. You need to look at one of the brewing sites to see if they have anything that will pump that.

I think something like this would do the job (I bought one as part of upgrading my brewing kit to HERMS or RIMS):

I use something like this:

Its designed to handle lots of bends and twists in the coolant flow ~ should last forever.
