to the other response
how would you know if the pumps are 6 years old?!
There is date code on the back of the pump, Third digit is the year, first is series number and second is quarter number). This is according to the Roger V. from Tunze support forum. The pump I got was very worn out, I had to replace the front bearings. I would not call that excellent condition. If I knew it was so old I would not get it. I had a old one before and had to replace the motor block, because the wire coming out gets hard over time and leaks water that destroys it.
