An observation!

I run dual Neptune COR return pumps, located in the sump in the basement. I also monitor their flow with flow meters.

Sometimes it seems like the flow rates change for no particular reason so got me to thinking. A little research on that new fangled inter web thing lends me to believe that the weather, specifically atmospheric pressure could be the reason.

Right now fall is settling in, gloomy weather with low pressure, my pumps are running at the same speed, drawing the same amount of power but are flowing about 10% less.

Thoughts?
