What pump do you guys recommend for a CIP installation?

I am planning to build a CIP cleaning system for the 14 gal unitank I’m picking up this weekend. But don’t know what kind of pump. I plan to use an extra anova sous vide I have lying around the house to heat cleaning water+PBW. For this reason, I would lean towards a sump style pump. But are there any that can withstand heat?

what are you using?
 
I have the CF15 and the spike CIP ball

I'm using this pump:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07M7FC34L/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1I picked it for the power and oil free design. Seems to work ok used it 3 cleaning cycles now.

I got this for heating the cleaning water:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07WH14PWX/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1when I bought it it was $35 and was rated at 2000 watts but likely is really 1800

I got this for controlling the heater given higher wattage rating (1800s) than ITC-308/STC (1100w/10A)
https://www.amazon.com/Inkbird-ITC-...lja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ&th=1

I'm running at 135F without tripping the pump's heat overload although the pump is rated for 120F.

Thanks! That’s what I’m thinking. Given that the anova can handle the heating, I could have a dedicated pump for CIP. I thought about a chugger or a riptide, but I was just worried it wasn’t enough power.
