Hi all,
I'd like to discuss some options for installing my new pump, and would love the community's feedback.
First, a picture of the current setup with the 1HP SuperPump.
The new pump (MaxFlo VS) manual states that give my 1 1/2 pipe size, I should have 7" of straight pipe before entering the pump.
Ideally I'd like to get rid of the two 90 elbows that I currently have.
As I see it, The easiest solution would be to purchase a similar valve, and just use half of it, along with some new piping to mate with the new pump, though this doesn't remove the elbows.
I was also thinking that I could just come up out of the ground, use a 90, then run straight into the new pump, though the pump would be sitting at a 45 degree angle.
In general, one challenge I see is that the first coupling on the pipe coming out of the ground is very close to the ground. If I cut it at this point, I'm not sure I can get another coupling on with the space I'll have.
I'd appreciate any thoughts or options that others may have.
Thanks
