My replacement pump crapped out over the winter (guess I should have taken it out of my wreck and dumped it, eh?) so I need to replace it. Want to go with something that moves a little more water, any of you mad scientist's find a drop in replacement that works well?

isn't it just a standard bilge pump, take it over to your neighborhood marine store.

I don't know about you but the ad I get for this thread is for Grainger pumps.

I'll measure it up and get the one with best GPM of water at highest head (for the size), would assume that would be a good way to go.. thanks

Not a "boat" guy, no idea where a marine store may be but i'll Google it, thanks!

In my "homemade" cool shirt system, I used this one:

I want it to shoot water 50' so I can soak everyone around me.... and isn't everything you have homemade there Mr. Science?

Get it at Walmart. Replaced mine at the Glen. They have higher flow options from your current.

Xx on the marine bilge pump. My CoolShirt system uses Marinco pumps that snap into the existing bracket. Only issue is the electrical connection. I extended the new wires to make connection outside of the cooler, and then re-filled the hole in the cooler with bathroom silicone. There's probably a fancier wire solution, but mine doesn't leak yet.

Shouldn't you be eating rice and beans, sipping a Corona, and gazing off into the Puerto Rican sunset?

I did the ghetto repair too. Bought a bilge pump on amazon. Used blue silicone to match the car. Works just fine.

Can someone guide me to a replacement. THIRD pump for this box, done paying Cool Suit for them.

Have used the old version of this with sucess...its more gph but same manufacturer

Just remember, the bigger the pump, the more heat it produces, the faster it melts your ice. I built a homemade cool suit system, using the exact same cooler and rule pump as the original, for less than half the price. I think the flow is limited much more by the length and diameter of the tubing on the shirt, and a bigger pump won't give you significantly better flow.

Can you link me to where to get the pump?
