You can heat up the flex with a heat gun to increase flexibility. The pipe will set in the form you've bent it to after it cools.

As far as modular assembly, that is a GOOD idea and easily accomplished with unions/true union ball valves.

Also, your pictures are not showing up

I logged into a different computer and I can see my pics in the first and third post. Sorry for all the pictures. I can't seem to delete this 3rd post. Let me know if you're still having troubles viewing the pictures.

I'd hard plumb all of the drain lines and only use FLEX on the return.

Umm, who designed your sump?

If you do decide to use PVC, the answer to your dismantle question is...valves and unions.

I bought this setup from Golds. They designed the sump for me as well.

I read somewhere, maybe on this forum, that using elbows in your overflow will decrease the slurping sound. Has anyone ever tried that?
