Hi just got a 25 ltr per minute hot water booster pump I want to use for my 50 ltr brews

Setup is a 50 ltr esky with slitted 1/2 copper also I can't slow or speed up the pump speed.

I'm pretty green here and have only done 4-5 AG 50ltr runs without a pump and only burnt myself once lifting water so I thought I better buy a pump I got this one off ebay as I can't afford a March pump yet.
This pump only cost me $20 with copper head They said it had back flow problems when I cracked it open to clean it up I found a couple of chewed up condoms pubic hair and either cigarette buts or old tampons wound around the shaft but after cleaning it up it runs quite well.

I have a 80L & 50L pots and only wanted to make a tap on my 80 and just use the 50 for strike/mash out water and didn't want to drill a hole through my near new 50L S/S pot.

TIA.

PS. whats this beer swap all about I'm interested in getting involved
