what are you guys running? I'm looking at needing about 10' of head.. I know it'll have to be a good pump. What kind of L/H (or GPH) should I be looking at.
I thought I knew, but then found my existing submersible let me down... learn by failure right...
Vin
was hoping for under $100 CAD though...

I got all my cwc stuff on aliexpress and bangood. Tbh, i had an all ekwb system, and from my own experience there is only 1 or 2°C difference from generic chinese cheap parts. Edit. When i say generic i'm refering to 20 bucks blocks, not that very cheap/crap all blue ones  |

something else you gotta think about vinnie is if the pump is too strong and the water flow is too much it hasnt the time to take the heat from the water block properly , youve got a head of 10ft, thats with out hose and fitting friction as well i worked it out vinnie, thats a 178 litres a minute pump, if those specs are right on the listing
2377 gph x 4.5 litres = 10,696.5 litres per hour
10.696.5 litres divided x 60 minutes in the hour = 178.275 litres per hour
178.275 litres per hour divided by 60 = 2.97 litres per second its says it will deliver
personally i dont think itll be good enough for a 10 foot head, itll dribble out the top of the hose, then youve got all your hose length and fittings to consider for the "pipe friction" its called

They have other pumps at that site with higher gpm.
The nice thing about it is its in your price range and its small. Figured it fit what you where looking for.

I looked at the pump and not the source. thanks for picking a Canadian company. I have one in town and go there a lot.

Yes Vin, I do think outside my little box. I figured local and cheap. I got a couple good years out of mine.
That one I think is 10 foot of head. So would push through a few rads no problem.

Found what you can use if you have a small electric motor, enginuity, and this 13$ drill pump. Or just cable tie the trigger on the drill. www.homehardware.ca/en/water-drill-pump/p/3120036Edit: let me mention before you click it, that is capable of up 1000Lph (220gph). Anything 850gph is expensive. Like 250ish cad. |

and if your drill is a variable speed trigger type you can adjust its flow from slow to medium to flat out or wherever you want to set it with a cable tie

Drills aren't meant to be run that long. You'll cook the motor.
