Mark PS: If you looking for a small bronze B&G pump I have a few send me a PM

They gave me the standard pump too. Its an Astro 30. I was going to use it for my domestic hot water( DHW) but I was told that I would need a bronze pump not the cast iron Astro that I have now. What kind of pump are you guys using for your DHW?
