I'm looking to replace my single speed pump with a VS pump with a 2" port and want to upgrade my pipe to 2" at the pad. I have 1 main drain and 2 skimmers, and 4 returns. My issue is that the lines coming up from the ground are too close together to simply replace the tee's with 2" fittings because they are longer than the existing 1.5" fittings.
One option would be to cut down the 2" fittings to shorten them to fit. Has anyone ever done this, and do you think it would be more prone to leaking? The other would be to add additional fittings to give me more room before collecting them together. Downside here is making the pad more busy and adding head with additional fittings.
Anyone have any other ideas? Thanks!
