<But the pump has to do the work to overcome the losses around the loop>

I understand that, but I thought that had a different label.  Like head 
pressure to me always represented the pressure produced by a column of 
water - potential energy.  Pressure produced by a pump to pump water 
uphill or round and round real fast I would have labeled "pump pressure" 
or "kinetic pressure" or something like that to connote kinetic energy.

But then I'm not sure how much clarity is gained by the distinct labels
