Boost pump plumbing help

[Edsjet]

Any suggestions on how to plumb a new pump in here? The original Pentair Boost Rite is no longer available so I have to re-engineer the plumbing. I’d rather use hard PVC, but is flex hose acceptable in this situation? If so, what is a good website to find them?
Thanks in advance!!

The original Pentair Boost Rite is no longer available

Are you sure? Pentair says it's available at three stores in my neighborhood (Where To Buy), plus I see it on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/Pentair-LA-MS05-FBA_LA-MS05-Black/dp/B00JJ5HDFC/, although I'm not sure whether the warranty would be honored if you bought it online, since Pentair seems to be cracking down on online sales).

I’d rather use hard PVC, but is flex hose acceptable in this situation?

Flex hose is apparently better, because of the vibration: Questions about replacing booster pump from pentair LA01N to puritech uniboost

If so, what is a good website to find them?

The flex hose kit is available all over: https://www.google.com/search?q=pentair+353040

New booster pumps come with a hose kit. Old stock BoostRites can be found. New Pentair pump is the HydroBoost. The taller motor may not fit there, but with hoses installation is a bit more flexible, the water doesn't care about right angles.

All you need is a new boost-rite and two 1.5" unions.
