Thanks Jim, will check the flow on the Procon I have for the Tig and see. I think the other motor/pump I have is a Simaco or something similar. I have the Parweld stuff in the Tig cooler but will obviously have to get more if I do build a cooler. I will also have to get some hoses to go through the interconnect so I suppose it is going to be 36m of hoses that it will be going through which would need a decent pump.You’ll want something that’s capable of pushing 1.5-2 litres per minute of water through that torch. A Simaco or Pro-Con will work well.
Remember to use coolant with an inhibitor if you want your power cables to last well.
Not really as that defeats the purpose of having a SWF. I usually leave the base unit in the car at the edge of the pier and take the SWF onto the boat, having to take a cooler on as well would be a pain.Could you fit the cooler to the remote feeder.
That way you are cutting out a lot of small bore hoses, which are possibly a very big flow killer.
Ceme mtp600.It won't be the Procon I use but rather the one I got from you, can't recall what it is at the moment but ceme sticks in my mind.
Hi,
that might be a good start:

The speck pumps are similar to the CEME ones you often find in coolers.
Just the pump is about 200 new.
He has a pump only for 40,-€

I got a Tecarc XC1000 for one of our two Kemppi 400 amp MIGs, the lads love it so much that I'm ordering a second one for the other set.
Using with an MB501d torch, it never gets hot, and consumables seem to last forever. I'd reccomend that setup for any application, and it didn't cost the earth. Tecarc will supply you with 110v, 240v or 415v pump, too.
ONLY downside is the clumsy looking upright cooler - a flat one would look better... but it doesn't affect the fucntion, obviously
That’s smart.As I mentioned above it will be made to fit my trolley, first mock up of the cooler is below along with a pic of my actual trolley. It will part into three sections, top part with base unit, next part with cooler and lastly the trolley base. That way I can easily put it in the car as per the pictures.

It isn't that big Brad, not that much space in them, I think you would be struggling to fit a motor/tank/rad etc in there. Approx dimensions of the power unit is 600mm long, 300mm wide and 450mm high.That’s smart.
The power source on those is quite big. Surprised they couldn’t fit a cooler in there?
