Would this pump be able to handle 160 degree F water?

Per the mfg. 120 degrees max recommended. That being said it would work on 160 degree water, however you risk overheating the motor.

160 F is not boiling. The pump and the hose should withstand the temperature. Do not put your hand in the water or touch the pump when the water has been drained. Until the pump has cooled.

The pump was not made for water of this degree, so yes it would, but it would not last for a long time. The pump was made for water at normal temperatures without the extremes. 120* F should be a MAX on the Temp.

Per Mfg. instructions this pump is not recommended for temp. over 120 degrees F

No, it should be fine. These heaters have an adjustable settings. I have a 300 watt for my 90 gallon fish pond and have it set at 80 degrees. It kept the water warm and prevented it from freezing during the winter.

It depends on how much current the pump draws. If it's less then 5.8 amps, it should be good.

No. I have a 15 ft. pool and this pump works well for it, but for a bigger pool I don't believe it would not do so well.

It is a powerful pump and lift water well above 2 feet and force it along way over a horizontal distance. Under normal condition she pump is expected to last well beyond its warranty However if the water remains undrained in the line you can expect the pump to wear faster. You should try to get the long line to slope ever so slightly so the line will drain . The pump has a temperature limitation of about 135 degrees fahrenheit and will automatically shut down then auto reset to on once it cools. This could possible work against you of you are dealing with nearly continuous operation.

Probably not. I doubt this product is designed to be submerged in 160 degree water repeatedly. I'd e afraid it would come apart On a different note,The element should not warp the tub possibly something bent the element and it is closer to the tub the it should be. Look at that. If not, replace the dishwasher. Low end washers are not expensive (check the big box home improvement stores) and they are easy to install.

No not at all. If you want to go above 140 deg. you need a optional controller. This controller can be remotely mounted so you can have greater control over the water temp.

I brew using the ebiab method. The pump does not work to its rated temperature of 230F. It shuts off at 205F. If your going to be using it at high temperature save your money and get one that actually works. If your going to be using cold water then this pump will work great. I contacted US Solar Pumps about my issue and they said that it is normal to shut off before the rated temperature and they would not exchange it for a new one. So beware, they do not have good customer support.

Maybe if you're in a warm climate. I have a 350gallon system in my basement in the NE and this cannot handle needed temp by itself.

I don't know if the unit is rated for that high a temp. The most it would normally handle is about 140 degrees.

NO it should work nicely, this is an awesome pump, our pond is about the same and it works great!

This pump is no joke - it produces a strong current in my 75gal tank. Might be a little overpowered for a 55.

I live in the south, but we have had a rather sever winter. My best guess would be that it would handle four without problem. I filled a 800 gallon hot tub and had to wait for the water to cool to get in this winter (120 f) is a bit hot for me. It is a very good unit, but i would extend the exhaust further from the clean air intake than is recommended. I put an elbow and a 36" piece of pvc at a 90 degree angle from the clean air intake. No error codes no matter how much water goes through after that change.

i would say yes ...THis pump is not made for a head over 5-6 ft.Perfect for a location not easy to get electric to.Good luck

Probably not.I've got it running an i7-3970X on a triple reservoir and it can barely keep up. Good reservoir, but you might need another pump.

Yes, it works well for road bikes. I am able to get it to 160 so 120 should be no problem. Being smaller it will of course require more strokes to get it to pressure than a floor pump but it will take fewer than many of the mini road pumps including the Topeak Morph road pump. To get it to 160 I use both hands on the handle, one on top of the other. You might want to try this technique if you have trouble getting to 120.

I would say no. While my water boss has performed well it is not built for any weather issues.
