I know it’s brought back from the dead but what water pump are you guys using for jacketed coulms that can handle heat
My water never gets above 85 so I don’t burn my extract… I use a regular cheap pump from harbor freight. It was 40-60 bucks can’t remember
splendid ,i love the creative solutions, stay evolving

Here’s your $50 diy beast mode heat tank.
- Food grade 55gallon drum cut down to tank size
- Drill hole in side for uniseal for pump intake
- 1650 watt hot water heater element enclosed in end of pvc teed to pump. Amazon $16
- Inkbird pid controller Amazon $25
- Eco plus mag 9 pump $50
68 deg to 95 no load 13 minutes. Roughly 35 gallons of tap water.
Sry $100 beast mode water tank. Smoke another one.
How long does it take to heat up?
Look at step 5
It holds 45 lbs of solvent to 90 no problem.
for less than another $100 you could use black-pipe to hold the water heater element, and rubber heater hose to put the sources of ignition on the other side of a wall…or at least 20ft away from your solvent tank.
there are pictures around here somewhere.
if you use black pipe, you can then use a standard hot water heater thermostat as your over temp protection.
if you want to get more fancy, glacier tanks sells tri-clamp adapters that will take a hot water heater element, so you can make a nice shiny version for less than $300.

then there is always this dumb idea…
I was going to use stainless tri clamp everything they have the inch and a half triclamp heater elements on Amazon as well but I figured cheaper is better and my “lab” is outside as well.
