Hey gfretwell,

Pool pumps are NOT water cooled.

Since they do not produce much heat, your statment "... a lot of heat energy
gets transferred to the water is also bogus. Stick to what you know.

Where do you figure all those watts (AKA heat) go if it isn't into the
water?

Uhhh, into the air? The only connection between my pump and the motor
is the shaft and a four bolt mounting bracket. Pool pumps can get hot
enough to burn your hand if you touch them. Yes, I understand your
idea that the movement of the water eventually is expressed as heat,
but a considerable amount of heat generated at the motor coils never
makes it to the water.
