i made a home made tig torch cooler about a year ago and it has been working fine except it goes through pumps. ive put in 3 used fuel pumps so far. i know fuel pumps are not rated for water/coolant i know but my intentions was to get it going and see how it worked and when i ran out of pumps find one rated for the job. ive searched and can only find pumps that cost 300 bucks or pumps that would take a complete redo of my setup. so im looking for a submersible pump that can do 50psi max and either be 12vdc or 120vac. lemme hear your suggestions.

I'd check out MSC industrial supply or McMaster Carr. They might have what your looking for.

What you want is a Procon carbonator pump, they run about $80-$100. That's what is the OEM pump on my Bernard TIG cooler.

I bought 2 Procon Carbonator pumps off ebay for $15 each. Both were 100psi ones (You need 40) all I did was adjust the pressure, install a in line filter, and they work perfectly.
