    Actually I didn't. I've measured the ratio of power draw to heat dump for a number of pumps. In general most pumps dump 85-90% of their power draw into the water directly as heat, and I actually factored that into the calculations.

    I model the heat-dump of the pump into the water, and the related heat dump of the pump into the air as two separate entities.
