Is anyone running their submersible pumps out of the water? My tank stays around 80-82 sometimes reaching 83 during the summer (and that is with a fan blowing in my sump). I'm wondering what kind of impact moving my pumps out of the water would have. I'd love to be able to keep my water constant between 76-78 year around without dropping $700 bucks on a chiller.
Currently, I have my return pump, and 2 other pumps I could potentially move out of my sump to decrees water temperature.
1. How much heat do pumps really give off, and would it make any difference?
2. What consequences does running pumps out of the water have on the lifespan of the pump if any?
