OVERVIEW

Keep Your Torch Cool and Welding Hot

If your water cooler is making strange noises or your TIG torch is getting too hot to handle, it might be time to replace the heart of your cooling system: the pump. This Procon Pump is the legendary workhorse found in many of the most popular welding water coolers on the market. When you are in the middle of a long weld on thick aluminum or pushing high amps on steel, the last thing you need is a coolant failure melting down your expensive torch head and power cable. This replacement pump gets your system back up and running so you can get back to laying beads.

Built with a solid brass body, this pump is tough enough to handle the shop environment. It uses a rotary vane design, which is fancy talk for "it moves water smoothly and consistently." Unlike some cheaper pumps that might pulse or struggle, this Procon unit delivers a steady stream of coolant to whisk away heat from your consumables. It is self-priming, which is a huge plus when you are refilling your tank—it grabs the coolant and pushes it through the lines without you having to fight airlocks. Installation is generally straightforward for anyone handy with a wrench, fitting into the standard clamp or bolt mounts found on most cooler motors.

Don't risk blowing out a $300 torch head because of a weak pump. Signs your old pump is dying include a rattling sound, visible leaks around the pump housing, or a noticeable drop in coolant return flow. Swapping it out is a cost-effective maintenance step that extends the life of your entire welding setup. Whether you are running a Miller, Lincoln, or a custom-built cooler, Procon pumps are often the OEM choice for a reason—they just work. Pick up this replacement, swap it in, and keep your focus on the puddle, not the temperature of your handle.

Easy Maintenance Upgrade

Replacing your pump is also a great time to flush your coolant lines and switch to fresh coolant. This pump is compatible with standard welding coolants and antifreeze mixtures. Its quiet operation means you won't have to shout over a grinding noise just to talk to your helper. Trust in the brass construction and stainless internals to give you years of reliable service, keeping your equipment cool even during the hottest summer shifts.

FAQ

Common signs include a loud rattling or grinding noise during operation, a significant drop in coolant flow returning to the tank, or visible leaks coming from the pump body itself. If your torch overheats quickly, check the flow immediately.

Yes, Procon rotary vane pumps are self-priming, meaning they can lift fluid from the tank level to the pump inlet without needing to be manually filled with fluid first, provided the lift height is within spec.

Most Procon pumps feature an adjustable relief valve screw on the side. Turning this screw allows you to set the maximum bypass pressure, but you should always use a pressure gauge to ensure you don't exceed your torch's rating.

This pump typically connects to a motor via a clamp-on or bolt-on mount and is driven by a slotted or keyed shaft. You must ensure the motor's coupling matches the pump's drive tang.

No, rotary vane pumps rely on the fluid for lubrication and cooling of the internal vanes. Running the pump dry for even a short period can cause severe damage to the graphite components.

Procon pumps are very common in Miller Coolmate and other brand coolers. However, you must verify the specific mounting style (clamp vs. bolt) and drive type of your existing unit before ordering.

Use only approved welding coolants or distilled water mixtures. Avoid automotive antifreeze or tap water, as they can damage the pump seals or cause mineral buildup in the torch lines.

The pump body is constructed from brass, which provides excellent durability and corrosion resistance for water and coolant applications.
