      I use a tank with a weir which isolates any swarf that gets washed down with the coolant. For a pump I simply use a small submersible pond/fountain pump. Very low cost and very reliable. Look for one that will lift your coolant around 4 or 5 feet if the tank is on the floor. I have mine below the tray on the lathe stand and a 4 feet lift is more than enough.
