Default Can I have 2-90degree bends in my pump input?

Hey Tony,

Why don't you cover of your drilled sump and cap it off, and then Hard plump your little giant making sure you have a "quick release" part (I don't know what you call those things but it's those pieces where you can unscrew and take apart hard plumbing easily) near the top of the sump so that it goes over top of your sump and back into the sump. To prime the pump, you just fill the input pipe with water and then screw in the rest of your plumbing and away you go. It will hold its prime even when the power goes out. As long as your water lever does not fall lower than the input pipe (common sense). Just make sure that your input pipe is large. I think mine's like 1 1/4 inches or something, definitely larger that the input on the pump. That way, you can remove your pump easily. Am I making any sense? That would make 3 90 degree bends like Clinton said. Cheers. I was in Calgary on the weekend and was going to come over with Alan, but we got busy.. Talk to you later and come to E-town soon. You'll have to see my new 150 gallon set-up.

Dez
