A friend of mine made a homemade wood boiler. He has basically two
loops, one for the house and one for his shop. The shop loop consist
of a copper coil in the boiler and in floor Pex tubing.
He has been using taco pumps with plastic impellers.
He has gone threw two or three of these. The housing around the
bearings seem to start leaking.
So he thought it was the brand of pump and purchased a Bell & Gossett
pump with a brass impeller. Everything was fine for a while and then
he noticed he could not get enough heat in the shop. Checked this and
that, then decided to pull the pump. The brass impeller was almost gone.
He described it as it looked like feathers.
