Little Giant Model 35-OM
I just won this pump on e-bay for $20US. It looks like it may be perfect for a 3/8" system (the size of the barbs on the intake and discharge) since it is a direct drive impellor pump designed for high backpressure. It's H-Q info is:
170 GPH @ 10' 140 GPH @ 30' 110 GPH @ 50' Shutoff @ 81' It is originally designed to be used in a pressure washer, but I think it can be adapted nicely to watercooling, and it would virtually guarantee greater than 2 gpm through your system, regardless of fittings used. I'll let you know how it is when I get it and have a chance to test it. |
Sounds like fun. Pump it through 1/2" tubing for some faster than hell water action in your block. Let us know what happens with it.

I hope it's not too noisy...

If it's out of a pressure washer, it'll be noisy...
might be fun to expriment with though... |
Thanks Sanjuro... it's not exactly a Killer Frog, but until I find something better :D
I was thinking it may be useful to use in a bong setup; it has enough pressure for quite a lift, and enough tubing to keep the setp away from the computer. |
Well, I've had the pump for about a week now. It's very tiny, and has quite a bit of power for its size. Obviously the flow is a lot less than my 3-MD-SC, but it is still quite substantial. The most impressive thing about it is the pressure it produces though... :drool:. Wish I had 80' of tubing to check out the lift :D.
Unfortunately, while it runs rather cool, it is a noisy little sucker. It almost sounds like a hair drier, and while I love its characteristics, I hate the noise. Luckily enough I have a home for it... it's going to take over siphon duty in my step-dad's home brewery, moving homemade beer and wine from one jug to another. :D |
Pressure washer beer, yeah! You'd be popular on college campus, spraying the crowds, you should get in touch with ECUPirate!

I think that it would take an engineer to drink beer at 2 gallons per minute... takes special training and all. :D :drool:
