    Good morning Joe

    Plus or minus 5% capacitor should be fine. The capacitors function is to store enough energy to start the motor. Are you sure the buzzing is coming from the pump? There really isn’t anything that can buzz. Perhaps, you have air in the system, or the head in the system is greater than the capacity of the circulator causing the recirculation in volute. Please advise, if you require additional assistance.
