Does this exist? Geesh how I am supposed to build my all american beer chiller for less than $30? I was thinking of taking apart one of those tabletop water fountains from a garage sale, but I looked on craigslist and people are selling them for $30 BROKEN. I think winshield washer pumps arent going to last running continuously. Hmmmmm anyone do this? I know some of you have built beer chiller coolant refrigeration things
sorry i meant 0.5gp minute not hour, so 30gph.
Home Depot: water pump for backyard fountains - under $30.

Or Lowe's or Leslie's.

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
Go to your local fish shop, you may get lucky.
0.5gph is a drip- not a pump- but then again ...
Got to keep up Fred. The OP, several postings ago, corrected his post to 0.5gpm

Gosh, you can drink 30 gph of beer?

Try Harbor Freight. Is there one near you?
instead of using electricity, maybe you should try propane:
I knew a guy who just got an ordinary small (apartment-sized) fridge, and poked a hole in the top for a tap.
Good Luck! RIch
Yay harbor freight! i went there and bought a 16.99 pump, the 7.49 one wasnt there. It works great! I got the system to cool down the resevoir water (beer cooling chamber) to 34.4 degrees. Not bad for totally uninsulated plumbing nad resevoir. Now to make things tidy and get it to go below freezing. Too bad I cant use salt water. Maybe normal water wont freeze up since its being pumped?
Mix it 50-50 with ordinary automotive antifreeze.
And yes, water will freeze even if it's being pumped. )-;
Good Luck! Rich
How'd you get it to 34.4 degrees? Got an ice bath handy? Or are you located right next to a cold mountain stream somewhere in New Zealand?
I'm pumping the water through the cooling resevoir of a water cooler I took apart.
