Eheim Compact pumps

Are they are durable as their big brothers? I want to submerge one in some -40c coolant running non-stop 24/7.

this one? Pretty nice 265 gallons an hour. too bad the tubing size is 5/8 unless theres a way to tap the inlet and outlets to support G1/4.

The 600 model uses 1/2 tubing.


Though I am sure there is an adapter for 5/8 -> 1/2 out there somewhere.

the difference between 1/2 and 5/8 is barely anything. If you are set on using 1/2 tubing, just dip the tip in boiling hot water to soften the tubing, then slide it right over. You will have a nice tight fit.

I do it all the time to put 3/8 tubing on 1/2 fitting. You can techincally go clampless this route. Just a thought
