Re: Cheap water pump
Size, well it is big.
Length = 170mm
Height = 85mm
Width = 80mm
Pressure Head = 13 meters (or 42 feet).
Actually, it is much more than that since I had only access to 13 meters of tubing. The flow was good enough and roughly, after 13 meters of tubing it was (fell to)118 GPH.
Noise; well I can hear the fan sound when I put my ear close to the pump. I could also hear water gush sound but that I think is due to water bubbles. For comparison, the sound is not annoying as my PSU fan is much louder and would cancel out the pump's sound.
One plus point with these pumps is that they have their own fan. Thus keeping the pump cool and in return generating less heat dump.
I am going to consider a smaller pump since this is overkill. To be honest I was a little greedy and I bought the biggest pump I could find.
Suggest if I should use a rheostate (something like those AC fan control nob, what is it called?).
Disadvantages so far: Ugly looks, Big size
