Gene,
My local Lowes has fountain pumps from $20.00, to over $200.00. Most
of them are submersible, and run from 80gph, to over 800gph.
Back in the day, when overclocking computers started becoming a
thing, I've seen Little Giant submersible pumps used as coolant pumps.
They worked well, but they are a bit on the pricey side.

While trying to get a reverse control over this POS, I noted that the
default was reversed, so I traded the 2 U & V wires to the motor to
make it run fwd.
This is toward the end of March, but as of this afternoon its default,
can't change it w/o moving UV again, is now its running bass ackwards
again.
Then, I note after I had unplugged the hoses from the pump in order to
re-route them thru the new cable chains, that the pump wasn't. Power
is being switched on queue..
Pull pump out of water, note its slightly warm. Made sure power was
off and popped the end covers, discover its a PM armature with pretty
strong cogging. Put front cover back on as its also the front bearing.
Apply power, and 8 or 10 pokes at turning it, It takes off again. Its
not stiff or dragging. Stop AC to it, stops, start it, runs. Several
times. So obviously it can't be trusted.
I've a mind to just order another pump and a vfd. I am plumb sick of
screwing with this documentless piece of Chinese shit vfd. I want to
actually USE it before I fall over...
I found a 110 volt 3hp vfd on fleabay for a good price, but ATM there is
NOT a single 110 volt submersible spindle coolant pump listed.
Everything they show has 220 on its makers label, but the only label on
this one says 110 volts & looks like it came from a brother labelmaker.
The instant you mention 110 volt, fleabay thinks its looking at 500 hp
Western Roller irrigation pumps or the like. Only weigh a ton or so.
Water a square mile of irrigated land from a 36" hole into the Morrison
Acquifier, now damned near dry and 700+ feet down. 300 could reach it in
the early 70's.
Damn I wish fleabay actually had a search engine.
