Question Anyone good at hard plumbing?

[Alfredo De La Fe]

My return pump is on its last leg, the flow rate is less than half. So I ordered a new Jebao DCP-4000 pump and need help installing it. Two things that stress me out- high voltage and plumbing. LOL. I want to put in PVC pipe instead of tubing with a union and cutoff valves. Nothing fancy, maybe plumb in a second output for a UV sterilizer?

I may have to bite the bullet and do it myself. Thankfully YouTube is a thing now! (Back when I started in this hobby we didn’t even have access to any good books!)

Where you located?

Add a manifold for the UV. Here is some photos of my plumbing for ideas

How do I ensure the return pump is level when cutting the PVC for height? Probably a really stupid question with a common sense answer…

I need to replace the current pump ASAP, so may have to use existing hose until I can do it right. I want to add unions, check valves and cut off valves. Need to make a parts list…

Hi man, you did your own plumbing ?????? Beautiful. Anyway you can help me out to change my hose to my chiller?

Ended up replacing the pump using existing tubing. Took about 3 hours because I ended up having to move the sump! Ugh. Still want to have it plumbed using PVC…

I just measured everything out and use unions everywhere. The unions allow you to take everything apart is small sections. Easy maintenance especially in tight places
