I would suggest getting one of your electrical pals to help you.

If it is 120 volts it's quite simple. First make sure to turn off the heat at the red emergency switch. This will not affect your system. Simply turn the switch back on when you are done. Remove the cover off the small box on the side of the pump. There should be one screw holding it on. You should be feeding the pump with BX cable from the controller (Aquastat or pump relay). Older steel BX carries the ground through the cable, and the connector, but the newer, aluminum BX has a ground wire inside the cable.Remove about four inches of the BX cable from around the wires. Just bend the BX at the designated length until it breaks. Twist the cable clockwise in one hand and counter clockwise in the other. This will open it enough for you to snip the cable,(not the wires) with dikes or tin snips. Or, you can unravel the BX from the open end. Be careful. BX is sharp. Insert a red head (anti-short) around the two or three wires and slide it into the cable leaving the four inches of wire still outside the cable. Install a 1/2" BX connector into the the round opening provided on the box. Screw the nut onto the connector hand tight and tighten the nut by placing a flat screwdriver onto one of the nubs on the nut and tap it around with the heel of your hand or any pliers or hammer if available. Slide your wires through the connector until the cable bottoms out inside the connector. Tighten the connector set screw. Now you have a black, a white, and possibly a green wire inside the box. Strip about 3/4" of insulation off of each wire. The three wires in the box on the pump should already be stripped, but if not, strip those too. Twist the wires together using your hands or pliers. White with white, black with black, and green with green. This ensures a good connection. Now, you can twist your orange wire nuts on to the pre-twisted wires. Use orange nuts because they are smaller and will fit into the small box better than yellow or red nuts. To ensure a proper splice, twist them until the wires start to twist in your hand . Fold the wires into the box, install the cover onto the box making sure not to pinch the wires and turn the emergency switch back on.

likely in the configuration need to change when the reversing valve is energized. sometimes energized when in cooling ,sometimes when in heating. whatever yours is on its likely the opposite.

did you put he wires on the wrong screws

If the pump is very hot, unplug it.
Heat damages motor coil and indicates that pump is not rotating at correct speed, or not rotating.
Take apart and clean inside pipe with white vinegar or CLR to see if pump rotor can be freed to rotate.
If pump does not rotate after cleaning, then replace pump.

Run the wire to the thermostat then to the heater

BASEBOARD WIRING WITH A SINGLE POLE (2 WIRE) WALL THERMOSTAT - 120V OR 240V SUPPLY

BASEBOARD WIRING WITH A DOUBLE POLE (4 WIRE) WALL THERMOSTAT - 120V OR 240V SUPPLY

If water is totally cold, then upper element is not getting 240V. Since element tested for 120V, then that says upper element is burned out, upper thermostat is bad, or circuit breaker is bad.
Best thing is to buy multimeter and do 30 minute troubleshoot:

Also read information below for understanding how water heater works.

Testing elements for voltage can be misleading.
If water heater has 2 elements, then tank is 240Volts.
240V water heaters have 120V on each element at all times.
So elements have hot 120V power, but they are not turned on until the circuit is complete with 240V.
Open following links to read specifics about 120V and 240V

240V is made from two 120V Hot wires from breaker box.
Each 120V line from breaker is called a 'leg.'
So 240V circuit has two legs, and both legs need to be turned on to complete 240V circuit.

Water heater thermostats turn off only one leg.
The other leg is Hot all the time.
So when you test screws on an element, for example test between a screw and any bare metal part of tank, then the screw will always show 120V.
That is just one leg of the 240V circuit.
But the 240V circuit is not turned On until both legs are connected.
Every residential circuit needs two wires to complete the circuit, and in the case of 240V, those two wires are both 120V.

When the thermostat turns on, it turns on the second leg to the element and that completes the 240V circuit.

Installed a new filter and furnace is running great now. The old filter was not that old, but we have been doing some remodeling and I figure that is what clogged it so fast.

do a google search for both of those items. is the new t-stat battery operated. if it is you can use the wire that use to go on common
