Remote cooler heads up

For the guys running the remote I/C tanks. If you are running ice in you tank you may want to add screens to your tanks. As the ice melts and becomes small enough to pass in to your line you are running a risk of damaging you pump and extrenal heat exchanger. The pump impeller is plasic and spins at a high rpm. Run some ice through it and the blades may not last. If it makes it to the exchanger it can damage the tube ends in the exchanger. Kind of peens the ends over. Have not seen or heard of anyone having problems on the L's, but I have seen the damage that could happen. No flames, still think the big tanks work. Just a heads up.

Cool

I think most of the coolers have coiled tubing in them and the ice is around the tubing.
