Grundfos 'bronze' pump !?

[Achy]

My central heating/hot water pump is an orangey/yellow coloured Grundfos pump.

I was chatting to a plumber round the other day, who said, I shouldn't have one of those fitted.

He said all the following:
It was a 'bronze' pump.
The pressure would be to great for the system.
That 'it' (?) would get too hot.
It is a hot/cold water pump.
Should be changed for a normal pump.

Although I asked at the time what the issues with that are I just got the next one down the list above...

I've come away and thought about it and I'm still not sure what the issue/problems are.

Any one shed any light?

It is to pump potable water around without contaminating it, will work fine where it is but it would have been a lot more expensive than a standard pump.....oh and it's made of bronze!
