Ok....some GOOD news.
Just got off the phone with one of the engineers.
The dimensions of the pump are 8" long X 3.5" wide. Pretty hefty in size but workable....barely!
Flow capacity: 10PSI (100GPH at 20' !!) Forgot to ask if that 100GPH rating was max because the other specs state that it's a 500GPH pump. Crap!
Does NOT add heat to the water going though the pump.
Outer part of pump basically only gets warm to the touch.
And the big question....How loud is the friggin thing?
I told the guy the web page says it's spec'd at 70db. He agreed. I proceeded to tell him that 70db is NOT considered silent in my books. After some more talk, he said that the pump is VERY quiet...ie, if held at arms left running at full output, there is only a barely audible hum-hiss whatever.
So...everything sounds great except it's a little on the large side....total flow rate still under question....subjective noise level (loudness not determined exactly)
I'm going to call the guy back and ask about the flow rate.
