Water pumps too loud - building a soundproof box - ventilation needed?

Yeah cast Iron is not as bad as brass it seems, and might work fine when you just change the pump once it’s been eaten.

Most of the minerals it will leach, will be eaten by the plants.
It’s micro nutes, Mn, Mo and S that worry me. But if you have been running hydro with these, and don’t see issues with odd difficiencys and/or over feeding. Im guessing it’s not as big a deal as I assumed, it might be.
