Default Re: How much pump is enough? How much is too much?

i think i'll refute the bases for this post on how much heat is created by the pump . sure you will loss output power than the input power and a % of it will be loosest as heat but this is not the biggest factor. Most of it is loses in the inefficiencies of how a motor works .. A motor works because a current is passed though a wire around the Satator which creates a magnetic field which then attracts or repels the magnets in the rotor which creates a rotation . The losses involved in this process is where MOST of the electricity is lost not to heat . i believe that this post shouldn't be a sticky cause it's not based on fact . and therefore should be "DE-stickyed" as it's putting alot of people wrong. i agree with the general idea of the post but may it should be re-written with theoretical pumps creating theatrical heat.
