Pump size?

[1131morg]

I cant seem to find any recomendations on what size pump to use. I have a 50 gal barrel feeding a Bok type still. It will come from barrel to a small Graham condensor on take off (Approx 8-10" long) to 1/4" double wound (10" long) condensor, then back through a small fan cooled radiator to supply barrel. Any suggestions and recomendations will be greatly appreciated. Thanx

you wont need much the very minimum would be 1l per minute (0.3gal per minute)

I suggest getting some thing that pumps alot faster then getting a valve to control it

good setup to save water

someone will come along soon that has a setup similier to yours

(we don't pay for water in the south land NZ region)

Just make sure it has "head pressure" to reach the top of your boka. I found a small pond pump for I believe a coi pond with a 15' lift in one of the big box stores fore around $35. They are small, submersible and silent. They are also built to run continuous. This is very important too. At first I tried an old utility pump I dug up out of the shed but it would shut off after running about an hour to cool off and start back up. Fortunately that trait was discovered on a cleaning run.
