I use a pump like this in my ice cooler. It moves a lot of ice water through the BK.

Very nice, that is the exact model I purchased!

Here is my first brew with the new setup. I decided to use the BrewHardware Spincyle Overboard, No Drill Kettle Whirlpool Return to create the whirlpool in my brew kettle. It worked great. I cooled my wort to pitching temp. (~ 65F) in 15 minutes completely hands free.

Here is just using the water hose until the wort is groundwater temp. ~ 100 F

Here is the recirculation using the immersion pump.
