Pumps in the garage

I am thinking about putting my Iwaki 70 and 40 on the other side of the wall, in the garage. First, it will reduce the noise in the house, second, it will reduce the heat in the cabinet.
Living in Florida, the garage can get to at least 100 degrees. I can insulate the pipes, not worried about heat transfer to the water, but I am worried about the pumps.
Do you think the pumps will get damaged by running them in the garage?

Not 100% sure but doubt the pumps being run in the garage will hinder the pumps at all. I think you'll be ok running them in the garage. Do you have any outside ventilation to the garage???

I have my Iwaki 70 and 2 Little Giant 4s in my garage. Of course its winter and I just set them up 2 months ago so couldnt tell you if they will survive the heat but if you want to wait until next fall I'll let you know.
I think they will be alright. They have cooling fans.
