600 L/H Yong Heng Water Pump..."Liters per Hour"?????

[Hepotter]

I wanted to get more water flow through my YH, but the little pump that came with it says "600L/H" That's a 158 gallons an hour! That can't be right...can it??? That thing would do good to pump one gallon a minute...







"Whaaaa....that can't be right!!!" 





Any recommendations on a replacement pump that is better, and doesn't cost a fortune?

Regards,

I bought a ryobi wet tile saw pump at home depot for mine and it works great was like 10 bucks and fits the hose perfectly. Dont know exactly what the gpm is but it puts out a little more than the one that came with my Y/H and is more reliable.

I've never owned a YH but when I was doing research and considering purchasing one I had considered building a garden hose connection and/or tap water connection. I'm curious if others had tried this? Seems much easier than a re-circulating pump and the input water temperature would be consistent instead of being slowly heated by the pump loop through the YH compressor. Instead of a loop you'd have an input side and an output side with a continuous supply of fresh cold water. Throw the output side in the sink drain and/or in the yard.

I would say a misprint.. More like 60 not 600.. I just use a aquarium pump rated at 400 gph.. I also use a plastic coffee can and fill it with water then freeze overnight.. I put the pump in a cooler add 1-2 gallons of cold water.. Then I place the coffee can in and let the return water flow over the ice..
