    A recirculating pump comes to mind. Since I know nothing about heating systems would you like me to kick this over to a heating expert? Cheers, Tom

    To actually calculate what you really need, might take more data than you could ever come by. I would pick up a pump meant for a small hot water system and hope for the best. Where did you get the boiler? Ask there about a pump. Whatever you buy, make sure it can handle hot water.
