I've been looking into getting a submersible pump to add to my immersion chilling setup so that a) I don't need to use as much water, and b) I can get to lower cooling temperatures than with tap water.
I'm basically looking for recommendations on which pump to get and/or the specs that one would need to accomplish such a task. A quick search online comes up with a bunch of different pumps, all rated at various flow rates in gallons/hour and different specs. I really have no idea which would be sufficient.
In addition, I'm not really familiar with these pumps so do you need to worry about pumping a large flow rate of water through a small tube and the pressure associated with it? Will it burn out the motor from the "back-pressure"? Hopefully that makes sense.
What do you use? What do you recommend? Thanks!
