Pumps are available much smaller than that, and a lot bigger. If I had much more, the chips might be able to escape the enclosure and I didn't really want a roof on it. If you wanted a couple of jets, something like a 250L/min pump would work very well I'd bet. It's nice that they are continuously rated too. |
Thanks for the reply; I will give it some thought.
