Do you intend buying a pump, if so, why not give the spec to the pump supplier and let them make their recommendations?

It is a capital mistake to theorise before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts. (Sherlock Holmes - A Scandal in Bohemia.)
 
yes i am a client, but i know about the procedure for finding a coorect way to the pump vendors use. Can you help me?
 
They will know from previous experience or they will consult the corrosion tables and like data that they will probably have.
You can also source this info'. from the internet - a good learning experience for you, "google is your friend".
