| I've heard of people using aquarium pumps for this sort of thing.
You may need to be a bit careful of what you use for solvents;
some might dissolve the plastic in the pump (if any), but if you
use just heavy-duty detergents, etc. it should be fine.

| What about a drill pump with the drill running on a slow speed ?

| re: .1
The easiest type of aquarium pump to use is called a "power
head." Several brands (e.g., AquaClear) are completely submersible
and come in a number of capacities.
Note that the labeled capacity (e.g., 200 liters/hour) assumes no
head (no lift). The output drops off significantly with lift height.
All this assumes (as in .1) that the cleaner doesn't eat the pump.

| I have a friend that used a pump from a oil furnace. He stripped
off all the covering and fan and just had a pump and motor left.
It works fine,

| 921.5 | Use a Spags waterfall pump | CNTROL::MORRIS | | Tue Aug 14 1990 14:03 | 21 |
| I've been using a pump for about 5 years now... I did something very
similar I took an old stainless steel sink and just placed it on top
of a 22 gallon drum (like a 55gal but much smaller). I then pured in
about 5-10 gallons of Kerosene (or diesel fuel) and placed this pump
in there connected to a piece of 3/8" soft copper tubing that runs up
thru the hole in the back middle of the sink 9where the faucet was) I
then attached a 18" piece of fuel line with a small clamp. When I plug
in the pump it works. unplug to stop. I got the pump at where else?
SPAGS in the plumbing dept. they sell
what they call waterfall pumps (I guess for those waterfalls you
allways see at the Chinese restaurants) Its' been working great for 5
years. I was very hesitant at first to put this 110v plastic pump in
the drum of kerosene... but I've never had a problem. It is the
submersible type of pump... it has to run about 20 - 30 seconds before
it "pumps up" if it hasn't been used for awhile... other than that I've
had no problems... Not sure what the type of solvent you are using
would do to it,, its' been just fine in Kerosene.
Cost was 15- $20 5 years ago... they also had a more expensive one
that was about $35 I believe it was for more volume .. the cheap on
is just fine for this purpose though...
