Just curious if anyone out there has any experience with blue line pumps? Looking for opinions and if these pumps have much heat transfer. It will be used as a return pump.

thanks for the help!

Being as they are external pumps there wont be hardly any heat transfer at all.

I've been running 1 for a closed loop and it's a great pump. No heat transfer and very quite.
It has an external cooling fan that can make some noise if the pump is mounted on an angle so I would suggest screwing it down

ahh ok.
I have no experience with the HD models but the NS models are quieter than the Maks. Im pretty sure the HD models are supposed to be slightly quieter than the Iwakis which are quieter than the Maks already. If it were me I would personally get the blueline over the Mak.
