About This Product:

Penguin Chillers offers a line of fully submersible Glycol Pumps for use with our Glycol Chillers and Tubing. When setting up a Glycol Chiller, standard practice is to use one pump per fermenter or vessel that you wish to cool.

In this setup, each pump is plugged into its own glycol pump controller. Each controller independently monitors the fermenter or vessel temperature and turns the pump on and off accordingly to regulate temperature. The controller on the glycol chilling unit regulates the temperature in the glycol reservoir, helping ensure cold glycol is available as needed to cool the fermenters.

Our pumps work well for brewers that cycle their pumps on and off or choose to run them longer during a cold crash.

Compare available Glycol Pump options by power, max flow, barb adapter size, head height, and overall dimensions.

Sizing Recommendations

When testing our XL Pump under what we consider a normal setup, we found that the XL Pump provided roughly 2 times the flow rate when using 3/8″ tubing and 4 times the flow rate when using 1/2″ tubing.

  • Up to 2 BBL – Standard Pump
  • Up to 4 BBL – XL Pump used with 3/8″ tubing
  • Up to 10 BBL – XL Pump used with 1/2″ tubing
  • Please note: the length of tubing used, any vertical height changes, and the number of fittings used will all reduce the flow of your pump.
  • Our sizing recommendations are suggestions only. Your pump’s functionality will ultimately depend on your setup and the pump’s load.

Manufacturer Guidelines

Pump Set-Up Information and Use
  • Standard Pump: Your pump is fully submersible and should be placed directly into the chiller’s reservoir.
  • This pump should not be continuously running 24/7.
  • XL Pump: 2 Adapter Fittings are provided with your pump.
  • Select the proper fitting for your tubing size and place it on the “OUTLET” side of the pump.
  • Only 1 fitting needs to be used.
  • DO NOT use a fitting on the “INLET” side of your pump.
  • Your pump is fully submersible and should be placed directly into the chiller’s reservoir.
  • This pump should NOT be continuously running 24/7.
Important Use Notes
  • We do not recommend using our pumps for applications requiring extended run periods without cycling.
  • This includes draft systems or brewing setups wanting to use a header line and solenoid valves.
  • The occasional 8 straight hours of run time should not be an issue.
  • However, running the pump in 8-hour blocks, 7 days a week, is going to significantly shorten the life span of the pump.
