Re: [FlyRotary] 13B vs 20B pump (was EWP) I noticed the impeller blades on my Cosmo 13B are airfoil shaped instead beibg flat.

Al,
You're probably right.  I looked at some of my other wp pictures and it looks like the 20B impeller may be thicker (larger blades) as well.  I'll have to check that tonight.  That could make some significant difference.  Some day, when I have some free time and nothing else to do, I would like to do a comparison test on the two.  However, I don't see that happening anytime soon.

Mark;



My opinion would be that the .17 difference in diameter is negligible compared to other differences in the design (shape of housing exit flow, clearances, etc.)
