Default Re: Using Aquamist for brake cooling system!?

Any 12v 100psi pump will work for this application. Can be found from $50 on up. Shurflo 8000 series if I remember right.

Use the Aquamist jetting chart to see what the jets will flow. You will need to get an idea of how much water you need to get adequate cooling and work out capacities from there.

When you turn the pump off, the unit will bleed down and spray for a second or two. While a little more to install, I would highly suggest a solenoid valve to start and stop the flow of water for a clean cutoff and no "pissing" of the jets after the pump is turned off.

For a control strategy I don't think you need anything fancy, maybe two modes, #1 full on, and #2 on/off in 1 second intervals.
