Electric Water Pump Question
I am thinking of upgrading my water pump to a meziere electric unit (55gpm). Has anyone ever tried to run some sort of variable speed control on these? I was looking at aeromotives fuel pump controller that adjusts the voltage to the pump relative to RPM. Anyone have any opinions? My thoughts here are that I could wire a manual override, to let the pump come on after warm up (or even a basic temp switch) and then have the pump speed vary with RPM (much like a mechanical pump). I guess you could even let the pump run after shut down to facilitate cool down, but I don't know if thats necessary.
Just wondering.

The only thing that I would say is that hundreds of thousands of motors didn't have anything like the setup you're describing, and they work just dandy.
I'd spend my time and money elsewhere for sure.-Matt
