After 30 years use, I replaced my water heater pump Grundfos model UP 15-18

measures 10 uf as rated. *I have 46 ohms resistance between the plug, zero

Thank you.


Sounds right , modern quality, old unit works 30 years, new unit works
3 years. I have old boiler pumps that never failed and a new
recirculator lasted about 3,
