I have an Iwaki md-30, but am looking for a Iwaki md-20. The 30 has too much heat output. I don't like the idea of having to remove almost as much heat from my pump as I do from my gpu. I believe the Iwaki or Blueline 20 series to be the best chiller pumps.

Though the iwaki's are expensive. For some of those prices you can get a Mag12 and pump your chiller to your roof and back.

ViaAqua cheapo. I can't believe how much pumps are. I might try a washing machine pump.

Thats a good idea, in looking at my washing machine output, it seems really good. It can overcome the drain in my basin given enough time and supply. But its a very big unit. Making one of those fit can be a challenge.
