I'm going from a Hayward SP to Calimar VS pump and I see in the specs that there is a .2" difference in the center line of the hayward vs the Calimar. Am I looking at replumbing the whole inlet or is it possible to make it work with the existing plumbing? I've currently got 1.5" pipes so I'll need to use the appropriate unions as well. Thanks!
Hayward Superpump to Calimar install

I replaced a Hayward 2hp super pump ll with the Calimar 3hpVS using 2-11.25 elbows ( available online) and short connecting stubs with Hi temp Unions my plumbing was existing 2". Hope this helps you. All planning credit on my project belongs to 1poolman1 and his guidance.
I appreciate that. It's hard to tell from your pic, but are the elbows for elevation change or are they lateral? Also there's probably no sense in trying to replumb the little bit of 1.5" pump a have at the pad to 2" right?
elevation, also keep in mind when using the elbows the pump position will change it orientation (left or right) both in and out plumbing will be required.
my super pump ll was at 8-3/16"
Calimar is 9.126"
1 1/2 " schedule 40- 11.25 elbows are also available on line I don't see a reason to change.
