We were discussing this with pH, and came to the conclusion that Iwaki is talking about the amount of heat released in to the coolant probably. Anyway I contacted Iwaki about this, and hoping to get an answer from them early this week.

Bruce, yes the pump consumes 31W. The pump will burn you if you run it for 3+ hours or so, but I think it is due to the metal casing. There is also a 10W value on the pump maybe this is the wattage dumped? All I know, is that now, the pump stays very cool due to the fact that it has the HC fan blowing over it, see below.
