Anyone have ideas on a pump sorta like a sump pump but that can handle the hot water the one i use now can only handle 130 or so water when water gets to 140 plus the internal overload kicks out that is on a submersible style even if i hold the motor part out of the water, pedestal one is better but they don't have a bearing on the bottom just a bushing and that don't last.

also the price hopefully won't be hundreds of dollars

this is for a project that i am working on been doing good just finding out little problems

thanks

Is that in your basement? Is that steam that the umbrella is catching?

Best pump type to use for your application is the Taco 007 style pump. Lots of manufactures and cost is about $50. Any way to install a pipe and hook up this style pump?

Hot water is a terrible lubricant. A sump pump will not work.

oh gosh no this is not in the basement, definitely not UL approved taco 007 pump don't work since it is not a closed system and a sump pump does work but that is the problem when water gets up to 140 internal overload in sump pump kicks, so now i have water going at around 130 and since it is only 40 out it is no problem, stand sumps don't last long at all no bearing in the pump just a bronze bushing
I found this morning a laundry pump that can handle 180 and the umbrella is just for that night, since my garage roof was paper insulation, no goes out in pipe
