Don't use any pump not labeled for food contact or at least potable water use. Those pond pumps are usually made from recycled plastic, you have no way to know what the plastic may have been in contact with in it's previous life or lives. Remember, maple syrup is food and we never want to contaminate it. As you concentrate the sap, you also concentrate any contaminates.
