    Condensate Circulator

    A B&G 100 or any three piece circulator would be my first choice. You don't need the bronze on a condensation loop. You want to stay away from the water lubricated type circulators . The grit and solids in the condensate cuts the life of these types of circulators..

    Bronze or iron

    According to ITT, a bronze body pump is more suited to handle condensate.

    I think it's a waste of money and have never attributed a failed system to a compromised pump that was misapplied.

    w/ bronze impeller. The body can be iron, or whatever that is they use. Learned the hard way that bronze impeller is the only way to go.
