Looking for a pump. An Iwaki is a bit much for my pay.

Would this pump do? If it wouldn't, what specs would I look for? (How many gallons per hour? What HP? What maximum pump height?)

Umm,
You realize that that is a 375W pump? That will work, but way overkill. And it's probably noisey'r than your car!
You want to stay in the lower power range, 300gph is a good range.

it will do the job quite nicely if ur system isnt very restrictive and depending on the liquid viscosity
i would say if is a reservoir chiller, and ur using at least 75% denaturated alcool (or similar) it will do fine
if its a HX chiller it probably doesnt have enough power, for that you want a 35-45 watts pump :D
i was thinking, of using ethonal and anti freeze or simular? unsure of what HX means...but thats what googles for lol :P
