    One of the other reason I'm going with this pump is it only draws about 1.2 amps.

    They also make one that is 220 V that draws .6 amps.

    Wild bill,
    Awesome! It looks like you've really been doing quite a bit of research. I actually enjoy tracking down all the stuff via the internet. My only issue undertaking projects like this is changing channels if my original idea isn't going to hold water. I really think the fan driven by the pump motor is a pretty elegant solution on some of the factory units. I thought maybe doing an independent electric fan with a thermstatically controlled switch, that way you only have to hear the pump run up til the fan switches on due to enough temp variation.

    Like you're really gonna hear the pump or fan over the welder

    I have been researching intensly since I burnt up the power lead on my WP 20 welding with no cooler


    Did a quick serch for a 110 v fan that would fit that small rad.

    Have any of you guys tried a pump designed for an evap cooler? They come in 120 and 240 volt models and are only $24. They are low pressure, yet offer a lot of flow. They also are designed to not be damaged in the event the water line is restricted or completely blocked.
