I recently hooked a Blueline NS 1100 up to a closed loop with SQWD. This is a 6-month old used pump that I got from a friend locally. It's in really good shape and ran his skimmer.
So, I plumbed everything and tested it last night for about 4 hours checking for leaks, etc... when I touch the pump and the metal housing is hot. It's hot enough where you can't keep your hand on it for more than 10-15 seconds.
The guy I got it from is out of town and I can't get a hold of him to see if it ran hot for him as well.
Anyone have one of these pumps and experienced the same thing? Do you believe it is due to being inline on the closed loop? The intake on the pump is 3/4" and all the intake plumbing is 3/4" so I'm pretty sure it's not overworking on the suction side.
What might cause a pump to run hot?
The pump is featured here at the bottom of the page. It is quoted as "The coolest, quietest, and most efficient pumps in their class. We can't rave about these enough!" Which really gets me worried.
