Personally I wouldnt run hot wort through that pump. It isnt FOOD GRADE approved and there could be some things in there that could leech into your beverages.

Sure its good for moving water - in something like a pond...
 
I agree with above; it might be good for pumping ice water through a chiller, but I wouldn't run wort or brewing water through it at any temperature.
 
It looks like a jet pump to me, they are use at cottages around here for pumping lake water. If your looking for running water in your cottage that's your pump. But I'd steer clear of it for brewing.
