Does anyone run this pump? Do you keep the pipe at 1" diameter or do you go down to 3/4? My plan was to go 3/4 pipe but not sure if it will put to much strain on the pump. Tried looking up some direcions and do and donts for this pump but cant find anything

just come off the pump with one inch , then when you get closer to the seaswirl and your returns reduce it down to 3/4 buddy. you want to keep 1 inch coming from sump to pump , then 1 inch off pump , then reduce it when you get to the swirl and returns. no need to put the strain right at the beginning.

Perfect same as I did
The input must be one inch
