What are you suggesting? and are my conclusions incorrect?


"Here's a thought. The volume of water going into a circuit/pump has to be the same as the volume coming out. Water moves slower as it passes through large spaces and faster when it travels through tight spaces. Perhaps this exlains why some pumps' intakes are bigger than their exhausts. What if you had a system the had a smallish hose from the pump to the WB for max velocity, and medium size hose from the WB to the rads, and a large hose from the rads back to the pump. The water would continuously move from an area of higher resistance/velicity to an area of lower resistance/velocity (ideal for WC setups). I suspect that this setup would yield higher flow rates than a system that was setup in reverse (slow, low pressure water moving into areas of high resistance). The second system would be less efficient than the first.
Does this help? I'd like the pro's input too. "
