0.5gph is a drip- not a pump- but then again ...

I knew a guy who just got an ordinary small (apartment-sized) fridge, andpoked a hole in the top for a tap.Good Luck!RIch

acannell · Answer

Yay harbor freight! i went there and bought a 16.99 pump, the 7.49 onewasnt there. It works great! I got the system to cool down the resevoirwater (beer cooling chamber) to 34.4 degrees. Not bad for totallyuninsulated plumbing nad resevoir. Now to make things tidy and get itto go below freezing. Too bad I cant use salt water. Maybe normal waterwont freeze up since its being pumped?
