Maxesla Submersible Pump 80 GPH (300L/H) Fountain Water Pump For Pond/Aquarium/Fish Tank/Statuary/Hydroponics with 5.9ft (1.8M) Power Cord
Why we love it?
SUCTION CUP and 5.9Ft POWER CORD. Long enough cord for easy installation. 4 strong suction cups at the bottom of the pump help keep it in place, so you can stick it on the right side of the aquarium, either vertically or horizontally WATER FLOW CONTROL. An Adjustable Knob to control the water flow rate, so you can get just the amount of water pressure you want. Maximum flow rate: 80GPH
Some comments about this we saw on the web:
* /u/the_real_xuth on /r/BurningMan I have lots of stupid little things that make my time nicer. One of the things that I learned that helps quite a bit is methods for managing your cooler.- have a decent, well insulated cooler and keep it in the shade.
- have a couple of lidded containers that are wide and flat that can float on top of the ice and water in your cooler. Put your leftovers and open packages in these.
- have everything else in the cooler be in completely water tight containers that can be fully immersed in water (ie vacuum sealed or with water tight lids). Let the melt water completely cover everything that isn’t floating on top.
In this manner there are no warm spots and you are keeping things colder than you would a normal refrigerator (ie right at the edge of being able to freeze but not quite) and food lasts longer (milk and meat stay fresh for two weeks or more with no problems if kept like this).
When adding ice, drain only enough water that you can add your ice. Since you’ve taken the effort to keep everything well sealed this water is clean and can be used for showering, evap cooling, misting, etc.
To make your life easier, when transferring water, don’t try to use the cooler’s drain. Use a small fountain pump (and tubing). Depending on your electric systems at your camp, you can get 5V fountain pumps that plug into a USB port, 12V pumps that will run off of 12V battery systems or 120V pumps that will run off a generator. This in and of itself was a huge deal for me and saved me from making muddy messes in my camp.
