Return pump states "pure copper motor" need for concern?

[McCarrick]

Ordered a return pump for my sump that I'm building. The side of the box says pure copper motor. Does this create any concern?

What make is the pump? Internal or external?

Internal. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B072C5YZ3C?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
Either way it wound up not being strong enough. I got the 320 ghp.
Either way I am returning it and was looking at this one- https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B08TTXW7CJ/ref=cm_cr_lh_mb_bdcrb_top?ie=UTF8 but it also says pure copper motor. The water really shouldn't come in contact with the water but I'd rather be safe than sorry.

Hard to say.. I would try and find a eheim used locally if I was going to trust it for a critical job like return. IME they are about the best low cost pumps.

no worry, the copper parts are not in contact with water. All electrical component of an aquarium have copper in them.

To further @alain Bouchard the windings for the motor are copper.

Here is picture of the inside of a motor. All motors are essentially the same and this is what they look like:

Thanks @alainbouchard and @HuduVudu I was pretty sure it didnt matter but I wanted to double check. I'm disappointed that I doubted myself with something like this since I'm studying mechanical engineering- I should have known! Thanks again
