I just got a reeflo bh1450 for my new sump in the basement project. Because this pump goes in one side and out the other there is a need for some 90 angles right before, or after the pump and im thinking before would be better, but the manual only talks about not restricting the inlet, not outlet?
Coming out of the rubbermaid sump will be an immediate elbow to put the plumbing along the sump, then I can go into the pump and then after the pump and about 6" will be a 90 elbow (to go up a wall, through the wall, toward the DT, then up again to the DT, and another 90 or 2 depending on how I get the water plumbed into DT).
The other option would be to secure the pump to the wall facing up, which would then be an immediate 90 out of sump, then another 90 to start going up the wall and into the pump.
The pump will be below water level either way so gravity will feed the inlet no problem - just not sure if its best to have one of the 90s before or after the pump. With all the 90s and head pressure id like to reduce as many as possible to increase flow.
