I'm looking to buy a pump for my condenser water cooling system, found this type of pump after talking to a fellow brewer, who uses one to pump wort, say's they are brilliant. It is submersible or 1/4" pipe thread for external hose connection, and are cheap. I can set it up with a reservoir tank/car radiator set-up, with about a metre head, and it should pump at a rate of 9 litres/minute or 2 gallon imperial, 2.4 US.

Is anyone using one? Is this flow rate enough? My thoughts are that it should plenty.

No one is completely useless.....they can always serve as a bad example.

It's more than enough. My liebig at 5500Watt still consumes around 1.5LPM

This is the one I use. Gives me about 2.5 gpm at 8' head. 12 volt run through a led light transformer.
I have one for each still. Mounted on planter dollies and 30 feet of cord so I can move them around the distillery easily in case I need one as a backup somewhere else.
