I was thinking of running a test myself which involved using a sealed cooler as a resevior. I'd set up the pump to circulate the water, with the resevior approximately 4' above the pump centre line. I'd measure temperature using my Radio Shack indoor/outdoor thermometer. Any comments on this? I am especially interested in any obvious sources of error that I have missed.
About the insulation... mine is not. As far as I can tell, there is only the polyproplyene housing between the magnet and the fluid.
