I just purchased a Chugger pump for moving the hot liquids when doing all-grain.
However, I am also wondering if it might work for pushing ice water through my immersion cooler.
I have a ball valve on the pump outlet with 1/2" diameter and could step it down to 1/4" for feeding into the chiller.
My concern is ensuring that the pressure of ice water flowing through my immersion chiller isn't too great and that could be adjusted using the ball valve in the chugger. To avoid cavitation, I was thinking of going 1/2" into the Chugger.
Any ideas?
