The back of the front cover of the red dragon....

must mention something here....the front cover of the blue beast is secured by bolts that eventually will thread into the metal casing whereas the front cover of the red dragon is secured by bolts that thread into a plastic stand between the front cover/impeller and the motor body.....

i reckon that the threads in the plastic stand will not be able to withstand the removing/putting back of bolts during maintenance and so on as compared to the threads in the metal casing of the blue beast.

the red dragon will render lesser than 6000l/hr at the same 8ft at 2.4384m.

And this worsens as the flow undergoes piping work with elbows....tees....and so on....thus for red dragon users....it is best to employ a flow pattern with as little piping restrictions as possible...ie...try to return with as little elbows and other fittings as much as possible to fully harness the red dragon otherwise the fire breathing prowess of the red dragon drops alot. :lol:

anyway...please do not read off the shape of the 2 graphs at face value..because....both sets of axis are different :P

Blue beast is very hungry at zero head loss at full muscle stretch....

consumes up to 240W at our local power supply context of 50Hz....

but if u ask the beast to do alot of work....pushing high high or pushing against great resistance......he no mood to eat the full amount of food as he would usually and will consume less than the max of 240W....

The dragon in comparison eats about half as much.....and yet gives u more flow at zero to minimal head with its mystical powers :lol: .....but when u start to whip the dragon to force it to work harder at greater heights and greater resistance.....it may either breathe fire back at you and not work as well...or just drop dead from being overworked :shock:

so use the correct pumps for the correct purpose....

pressure rated pumps for pressure/demanding applications....

end of review for now :P

cool or not....really depends and so far no quantitative figures yet....i was thinking of putting the RD in a toyogo tub and run it for 1 hr internally and externally and see how much the water temp rises...and then compare with the external mx100 running for 1 hr in the same tub

just thought of comparing the 2 since both are highly respected in their own right ;)

yeah..for pressure uses, use iwaki..... :yeah:

for non-pressure uses, use RD :yeah:

not to mention cool when it run too...

well I dont think it's correct to compare a non pressure rated pump with a pressure rated pump...

It will be more reasonable if u compare red dragon to ATman or OR or any other non pressure rated pump....

Wow...now you are comparing a pump that is 1/10 the price of RD, but use 200% of electricity. How to compare? :)

This will be an interesting test. We are all dying to know the outcome. :)
