Pros & Cons
Pros
Some people were confused with the two supplied o-rings with no instructions. Be sure to lube the o-ring and tighten screws evenly. Fit the new o ring and tighten it all up again.
Estimate from plumber to replace the whole thing. Need to replace these about every 3-5 years.
The old and new cartridges are pictured above. Works great in my taco water circulating pump. All is good and hot water flowing again.
Cons
The pump turns ver rough. There were no rubber gaskets sent with the produce. The thing most distressing is there were no directions.

Though the part is expensive i was glad that i didnt need to sweat pipe joints etc
It cost just under 100 the local cost was over 300
Total for replacement cartridge including shipping was around 95
A local plumber wanted around 450 to replace the entire pump until i discovered it was a cartridge pump
Shipping
Part was delivered quickly and was easy to install
Used to have to wait for up to 2 minutes for hot water to arrive at the shower now it is there immediately
Packaging/appearance

Everything that was needed was in the box screws gaskets and the cartridge of course
