The 2.2Kw Chinese Spindles - Info, Setup and Advice + More

Or something like this 24 V Submersible Transfer Pump Water Oil Diesel Fuel Boat Camping Car Golden New | eBay if you have 24v supply. They're supposed to fit in a 25ltr container which can be used for the reservoir.
Also available for 12v

That's way more power than a central heating pump etc the one I linked to is only 4.5w and rated for 30000 hours continuously. (ish anyway) ..Clive

Ah scrap what i linked to. Another listing says dont run for more that 15mins.......it'll overheat!

Your right! I got my pluming wrong, I thought he was asking for flood coolant, do you think that would be overkill as well ?

Sorry Lee I can't comment on flood cooling but I think it would be overkill also standard CH pumps use a cast prop but you can get them with a bronze one used for hot water secondary circulation but are very expensive. ..Clive

Thanks for the pump advice,are the Chinese spindle mounts ok? I messaged someone on the forum about making a mount but not had a reply.

Doesn't matter just don't try starting spindle before setting the parameters.
