Grundfos 3 speed Circulator

I grabbed the 3 speed circulator on my hot water furnace and, when I did so, I accidentally switched the speed setting. I really don't have a clue what speed it should be on. What info do I need to provide in order to figure out what the proper speed is for this thing...It's a single story, 1000sqft house with a Burnham P204-W Furnace. 8 regular room radiators. Thanks for any info you've got.

More info

Here's the model #, etc.

Type UPS 20-42
Speed 1 - A=0,42 Winp=50 RPM=1800
Speed 2 - A=0,60 Winp=70 RPM=2300
Speed 3 - A=0,85 Winp=95 RPM=2620

60hz

What do all these numbers refer to?
Thanks

That information shows how fast the pump spins and how much electrical current it uses.

With the 3 speed Grundfos, speed 1 pumps far less water for a bit of electrical savings and speed 3 goes just a bit faster than speed 2 and adds noise.

If you're in complete doubt use speed 2. Who installed it? They should know...

thanks

I'm not sure who installed it. It's fairly old and had to be installed over 15 years ago. No sticker either. Thanks for the info.
