Looking good. Hope the little sump pump give enough oomph to move it through there. You may need to get to Lowes for the fifty buck model.

Well I got one which looks mysteriously a lot like it which come from WW for twenty bucks which is designed to remove scum water off the tarp which covers the cement pond when the chill banes set in. Have I already tole this story a few times or could it be DeJa all over again yet another time? Anyway..back to the topic at hand..it claims to pump 500 GPH but as several reviews said..that figger is highly optimistic. It shoots a stream about like some old fat boy with an enlarged prostate might muster up after intensive Milk Thistle therapy. Maybe you can get the local yokel Slab Savers to drop a line and hook you up to stump or something. I only know muy poquito of that lingo..Thankfully. Know they love free stuff. Most especially hooch and food. Thats all I know. I bet they go for it. Dont make me come down there. Thanks.

"ABOUT THE PUMP- My evaluation.
Best price and works better than i expected
I just hooked it up to my still tower. The pump sits in a slop sink next to the still. It is pumping straight up for 5.5 feet through the liebig, then through 4 copper tubes i used to connect the cooling lines. The flow and volume is strong. I cant believe that a pump for this price is such a work horse.
I probably will have to install a 3 way valve in the feed line to divert most of the circulating water so i can controll the outputof the still.
Now i have to see if the radiator will remove enough heat for me to re use the cooling water.
Got some mashing to do first."

Ok sounds like your making some good progess on that one. Have you had any time to devote to the robot hot corn stirring agitator gizmo?

Naw...just supremely confident. Now I make a good white rat for testing prototypes etc. I'm trying to think whether this should be geared up to a 15 gal keg or a 55 gal barrel? Which would you prefer? I already have the keg with the top cut out. Would have to go buy a barrel. Keeps us posted. Thanks.
