Are you thinking a heater in the pump?
Assume this is correct and the water is heated by the pump (hidden element) to 100C.
The energy contribution from this would be 598W.
I own several of these pumps and when they operate the feed and output lines jump. I noticed on one of the other videos that the lines pulsate at regular intervals.
This to me indicates the pump is in fact moving liquid, can't say how much.
Assume partial phase change with over 600W.
If you look at the water feed directly on the ecat, the hose is just pushed onto a barb. Plastic hose softens at 100C and there is a good chance of it coming off, so a restraint of some sort would be required.
Also if the water from the pump was heated, I am sure that would have been discovered very quickly.
Interesting find on the cabling though.
