Is there any info about say a 100gph pump vs a 600gph pump and varying amounts of crud buildup? With the 600gph, wouldn't it just build up somewhere where there is no flow, like in the corner of a res or something?
In hot water circuits, naturally the build up would be more, so having a huge radiator, or just keeping the water temps as cold as possible would slow it quite a bit.
what about boiling normal tap water, and collecting the steam? this would ensure no impurities were carried over into the water

i think he means pressure as in PSI not flow rate... because if you think about.. the only time there is flow in your copper pipe in a house.. is when you are running some water... which isnt very often compared to the non use time =)... a computer loop is on MUCH more....
also about the crud buildup... the pump flow wouldnt matter because of what i stated above... but the whole thing would be that there would be much less corrosion to build up... and therefore less of it to settle anywhere
