I am installing a new variable speed pump, and the inlet is 3/4” higher than the old one. I have a cement pad that supports both the filter and pump. Is there an easy way to raise this to the correct height? I was looking at landscaping blocks, but they didn’t have any in such a small height. I appreciate any suggestions!

You could do (2) 45s or you could frame up and pour a 3/4" concrete pad for the pump to sit on.
If you mix some hydraulic cement into the dry concrete mix before you mix in the water, the concrete will set up extra fast.

I would remove the pump and filter and repour the pad with concrete instead of the undersized pad that you have now.
