Hello,


My 1 1/2 HP Hayward Super Pump kicked the bucket, so I thought I'd
upgrade and get the 1 1/2 Hayward Northstar, not realizing that the
Northstar had 2 1/2" inlet/outlet fittings (vice 1 1/2" for the
superpump). Can I just use reducers to bring my 1 1/2" plumbing to 2
1/2", or is that unadvisable?


Thanks,


Have you looked at Lowes, Home Depot, True Value etc...? They usually have
all kinds of stuff like that.


I have the reducers, I'm just curious whether that will cause problems
with the operation of the pump, such as suction issues or pressure
problems?
