I've seen al the posts about pump heat and understand why it's a concern but haven't seen any measured temps yet.
Has anyone measured these yet? Depending on desing it would seem the difference between wattage used and actual temps to the water may differ greatly.
I did an external measurement, with my digital pyrometer, of the casing on my MCP600 which was 87F (varied depending on how close to the impeller of course) with a room temp of 74F. Lines measured 76F in and 78F out. This is of course useless as far as water temp is concerned but it can be guessed that the internal temp is higher than the case, especially since the case has a fan blowing across it.
