Pan World Pump

I'm wondering if anyone is using something like the Pan World 30px or 40px in their system?

I recognize they're not explicitly FDA approved or rated for boiling temps, so I'm curious about other's experiences.

On a related note, if I go w/ one of these it seems like the 30px (258 gph) would be more than adequate (this is as much a question as a statement).

Read a bit further on your linked page, and you'll find that the PX series is explicitly only rated to an upper temp range of 60C/140F, so you couldn't really use this pump anywhere in the brewing process without melting it.

Even their premium PX-F and PX-M can not handle boiling temps.

Sorry, these are probably a bad idea!
