I have a couple ijon, I can try to post them on here later this evening. Is there a something specific or a general pic of the pump area?

I don't have much luck posting pics. See if this works?
Someday I will move the pump or return line to the same sides but it was easier at the time to hook it up the way I did.
Yes I am pulling from the top and returning to the bottom as per the original manual.

Thats about how long I used my Grundfos for in the basement, new stove had the new pumps placed at the rear. Unless Grundfos drastically cheapened things up I don’t expect to have to change one for a long time. Original pump is still in use, just on snow melt duty now.

Thank you all. I am hooking up the pump for a friend of mine. Mine is in the basement.
