between the rise and length to the beginning of the stream. We wanted 60GPM flow, which the 6800 accomplishes, and then some, when coupled to 3" PVC pipe and running on 230v power. We originally set up the system using 1 1/4" piping, with disappointing results. The larger, 3" diameter pipe made a huge difference in flow rate, like night and day in comparison. This is a great pump!
This pump is made to withstand the elements and operate without a cover or house, which it does. Esthetics aside, it would help reduce operating temperature if the motor were white. This is not to say that the motor runs overly hot; it does not.
Both inlet and discharge ports come with a union that has a 2 1/2' glue fitting coupler in addition to the 2" FNPT. 2 1/2" is not a common size and tough to find at local hardware stores. A 3" PVC coupler would be a better choice, in my opinion.
