Is this big enough to recirc cold water thru my immersion chiller?

But not before I got it down to 72 F....love the whirlpool chiller!

I use this bad boy.

I use the same pump for Recircing ice water though a imersion chiller, also use it for keg cleaning with a home build assembly.
I got it from the "Sportsman's wharehouse" but I don't see them anymore, it works great, total workhorse.
