So now that my boiler is up and running I noticed I may have put the Taco in incorrectly. It is running the right way and working, but....the manual says the electrical box on the pump needs to be on the side or the top - not the bottom. But it doesn't say why - anyone have an idea? What are the risks of having it on the bottom?

Thanks.

Just a total guess, but maybe they figure if the pump leaks it would be better if it didn't leak into the electrical workings.
