Hi all!
My pump went out and am replacing it. The original installer placed the equipment (pump and filter) in a fiberglass box with a lid. Thing looked like a clamshell. At some point, the other house owner removed the lid and cut down the sides of the clamshell to expose everything. Since I am pulling out the pump anyway, I took the opportunity to remove the filter and remove the remaining parts of that fiberglass clamshell and just put down an equipment pad (like for AC compressors).
The plumbing now doesn't exactly line up for the pump. The filter is really close so not worried about that. Just want some advice on how to redo the return lines to align with best practices. Perhaps I can just put something under the pump to raise it up to the existing plumbing? Pics attached. I appreciate the advice! Thanks!
