plumbing an external pump
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
		When plumbing an external pump, on both the inlet or outlet, you should always put a union and ball valve.  
This will allow you to conduct maintenance on the pump by  
a) shutting off the ball valve 
b) disconnecting the union 
c) you now have your pump with only about 1 cup of water spilling out
