This is how the plumbing is now that it is complete with a working pump:






And this is the lighting command center, still have to put face plates on the timer's. The yellow power box on the left is going to be for my pumps and 4 way.

Is that some sort of quick disconnect on both sides of the pump? It reminds me of the fittings used on a sink trap.

How are you able to remove the pump, the inlet valve isn't a true union? is it a quick disconnect as Untamed mentioned?

#1 & 2 are 2" threaded fitting's that came with the pump and just unscrew to remove the pump. #3, 4, 5, & 6 are 1" couplers to remove the 4 way.

Sure can remove it fully just close all the 1" & 1 1/2" valves and unscrew the 1" unions and the 2" threaded fitting that attaches to the pump. #1, 3, 4, 5, & 6 and out it comes.
