How much heat a pump adds to water
Well for a little test last night, i hooked up my system with just the rad, res, and pump (I don't have a block yet.) And for those of you who thought more flow bigger pump is better, hmm.... it adds A LOT of heat to the water. Here is what I found

1/2" vinyl
bout 3 quarts of tap filled system with about 1 cup anti freeze.
