would this work for the keg cleaner and do double duty for running ice water through my jamil whirlpool chiller?

That looks similar to the one that I use. So it should work.

I use a 1/4 HP pump - it automatically shuts itself off if it runs dry since I hook up to clean and often walk away.

Might be a bit on the wimpy side. My Little Giant 5-MSP pumps 1200 GPH and I wouldn't want anything less. The one you're looking at is rated at 950 GPH.

Looks like it'll do the trick. However, consider looking on ebay for a Little Giant before you buy. That's where lots of us got ours.

Have you got a harbor freight near you? They have 1/2 hp submersible pumps for $30 on sale. It works great for kegs, carboys, buckets, whatever you can turn upside down.
