Welding Tips and Tricks

I’m currently looking for a water cooler unit & a 20 series TIG torch for my machine at home. My power source only goes up to 210 amps, so I don’t NEED a massive cooler, and I would like to be able to fit it in the bottom tray of my welding cart. If anyone on the forum happens to have any water coolers that they might be willing to sell to me, please let me know and I will certainly pay a fair price for one.

Thanks,

Check with your local pop distributor. When they rebuild the skids for fountain pop machines they usually have old procon pumps and motors around that you can use to build your own.

Those units (pumps) are also on ebay, and there are many DIY threads for making your own water recirculator

Procon

New and Rebuilt Procon pumps!

Thanks guys. I appreciate the ideas. I'll at least find out what it would take to build one and if nothing else, I'll be very entertained and maybe learn a thing or two.

Thanks again, fellas. I ended up just buying the cooler that could interface with my machine, for cost and for fear of forgetting to turn on a separately powered cooler and burning up my CK20 torch haha. I’m extremely glad I got it, I’ve welded lots of super long runs on really thick aluminum lately. I had the boss order a 50-50 Argon-Helium mix for me, that was a slam dunk to say the least!
