So I think that will ultimately be the solution. Quality cold water washer (i only buy "assets" in terms of tools, never expense) hooked up to the hot water heater. I think I'll be running 100F through the washer by the time it goes through the hose.
I cooked my CAT pump using home hot water. It was way over 120. Probably pushing 150.

Oh, it still works fine. Seals leak and I have to have a quart of pump oil on the ready to top off every 20 minutes.
