All,
Wanted to get your feedback on a pump for a long draft line. We recently bought a house and I want to place a kreezer in the basement and run a trunk line to the bar in the kitchen. I am debating on making my own trunk line or just buying the prefab ones from KegMan. If I make my own, it will be 3/16 beer lines for the beer and maybe the same for the glycol. If the run is over 15ft, I thought about bumping up to 3/8th so I can push the beer with 12-14 psi. Not to sure how long the run will be, 15 ft a min, maybe 35. Depends on where the kreezer goes. My plan is to place a bucket or corny full of Glycol or a mixture of RV antifreeze and water in the kreezer. I was researching pumps and I see a lot of people using submerisble pond pumps, anywhere from 130 GPH to 400 GPH(for 60' ft lines).
To my question, what about this pump.

It seems to have a good head height, at 15 ft 68 GPH. It seems well built and designed for these types of operations.
Any other thoughts?
Thanks
