[quote=The Grizz;509199]This is how the plumbing is now that it is complete with a working pump:

Is that some sort of quick disconnect on both sides of the pump? It reminds me of the fittings used on a sink trap.

How are you able to remove the pump, the inlet valve isn't a true union? is it a quick disconnect as Untamed mentioned?

#1 & 2 are 2" threaded fitting's that came with the pump and just unscrew to remove the pump. #3, 4, 5, & 6 are 1" couplers to remove the 4 way.

Sure can remove it fully just close all the 1" & 1 1/2" valves and unscrew the 1" unions and the 2" threaded fitting that attaches to the pump. #1, 3, 4, 5, & 6 and out it comes.
