I am about to build a new test loop for testing heatercore performance and I am curious as to what pumps everyone is using. Just give me the manufacturer and the model number and I'll look up the specs on head and flow (unless you have the specs handy -- if you do please post them).
I suspect a mag3 is about average now...
Anyway, I think my current pump is probably a bit more than most use so I don't want to throw off my test results for the majority of systems by having a sizable flow or head advantage - i.e. my current pump is rated for 714gph through 1" ID tube at 4ft of head...
I'm guessing that most use 1/2" ID tubing and about 3-4 feet of tubing with a jet impingement style block. If this info doesnt sound right to anyone, please post otherwise.
thanks.
