According to this sparsity of "Reactive Hydrogen Species" ( RHS) in pure water
ZPE pumping would take about 6 hours to raise the temperature of a liter of
water 1.0 degrees K.
OTOH, if the ZPE is pushing it's energy up a Metastable Ladder there will be no
sensible heat evident until "agitation" or stimulated metastable dumping of the RHS occurs.
