Boiler plumbing questions

New here and new to hydronic heating. I have an Energy King 35ekb wood boiler that I am installing in my house that has no existing hydronic infrastructure. Planning on using cast iron radiators with trvs. Also want to use a plate exchanger for domestic water. Can I use a groundfouse Alpha circulator as my only circulator or do I need primary boiler circulator with secondary circulators for my heat and domestic? Not planning on storage atm .

    It is a fool's errand to have a solid fuel hydronic heating system without heat storage as a principle element. With primary-secondary plumbing set-up and a heat exchanger for domestic hot water you will be needing multiple circulators. Grundfos Alpha is a fine choice for circulators.
