BEST WAY TO INSTALL NEW H2O PUMPS?

[freewill2008]

Kurt - Keep the filter attached to the pump. By all means do
whatever it takes to use the flexible lines. Run the flexible lines
to the pump/filter assembly. The lines don't hafta be all of 2 feet
to make things quiter and allow easy removal if needed. The hard
part is finding the flexible line, but Shurflo will be glad to sell
you some in a kit.
