I'm thinking of making a basic solar water heater here in Arizona. I want to use a Via Aqua or other cheap pump, but I'm curious what very high temperatures do to them. To be on the safe side I'd like a pump that can handle 95C water.

Am I out of luck unless I spend a lot to get a pump made for high temps?
