Well, I just hooked up the pump with the two radiators...

I got hardware and converted both the input and the output down to 3/8" barbs.

From the quick test I did, it appears that restricting the input to the pump is NOT going to work well.

It does pump water through everything but not very well. It appears that the pump is not able to get enough water into the input to work efficiently.

I think I'm going to have to use a resevoir and mate it to the pump using the full 3/4" pump input. I can see now why in the pump manual it recommended AGAINST place any kind of strictions on the input side. It said restrictions on the output side are fine tho.

Fun Fun....
