Mind you, he does live in Bendigo*. Bendigo, being in central Victoria has been going through somewhat of a heat-wave recently where 35-40C temperatures are being experienced during the mid-Spring season, so any human-feel based measures of warm/hot must be considered to be relative to ambient temperatures that are also considered hot by human standards.

That's not to say that there isn't an issue here, just that without a room temperature reading, a water temperature and external pump temperature, it may be a little hard to figure out what's going on. If the pump's body is warming up to 15C above ambient, then it will feel warm in a 20-25C room, and very hot when in a 35-40C room.

* - Bendigo - heart of anthrax country if a recent episode of "Law & Order" is to be believed where millions of Australians are immunised against the disease. Bendigo has a regional population of about 200,000 people. In the past 10 years there have been two reported cases of Anthrax in humans Australia-wide, and none in the Bendigo region. Australians are not immunised against anthrax in any way.
