What's wrong with this noisy circulator? VIDEO

Jells

This TACO pumps but is noisy. What's the diagnosis, can I just replace the impeller or is it something more dire?

Sorry, tried for a while but cannot figure out how to embed a Photobucket vid.

That's a "cartridge" circulator and it sounds like the bearings in the cartridge are shot. What model is it?

006-ZBC7-IFC. The box is just circuitry so you can simply hook a thermostat to it and plug it into a wall outlet.

Looks like this might be what i need: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00069461O
$90 ain't cheap, but better than having to replace the whole unit.

That's the one. And we do not discuss pricing on this forum.

So you think I need to just do the cartridge? Sorry, I thought the "pricing" not to be discussed was contractors, not parts. How can you discuss relative merits of competing products, or whether to replace a part or whole unit without price?

Thanks for your comments.

You would have to ask Dan about why he doesn't want us discussing pricing. It's his board, and he makes the rules.

Yes, the cartridge is all you need.

OK, thanks. Got one more question about the parts on this "Aquaheat" system before I place my order. I think the vacuum breaker is bad. Shouldn't it let in air when I drain the WH tank? It didn't seem to, and has some stuff around it's port. I searched Supplyhouse but didn't see this exact device.

This is the unit, that thread is 3/4:

That's correct. Replace it.
