Why are there Cast Iron and Bronze Pumps?

Cast Iron Taco pumps are designed for use in hydronic heating systems. The most popular of these is the Taco 007 Pump. Bronze pumps are designed for use with hot/cold water systems. For purposes of radiant heat, if you are using a cast iron Taco Pump, you must have an oxygen barrier for your pex tubing. This would include Wirsbo HePEX and ThermaPEX Barrier Tubing.
