Bought new return pump. But have plumbing problem

[christwendt]

I finally upgraded return pumps but the new return pump only comes with the 1 inch unions for attaching plumbing to it. I have attached the new pump with fitting along with current plumbing setup. The current plumbing setup is glued but shortly after the first bend is an. 3/4th union. Can I just get an elbow that goes from 1inch to 3/4th and keep the 3/4cinch return plumbing that goes from sump to tank ? So my new return pump > I inch plumbing into union attached to return pump> 1 inch elbow bend to 3/4th inch elbow bend, back to 3/4ths plumbing because all that is glue already. So in theory I’ll only have 3-4 inches of 1 inch. Sorry I’m in making this confusing this plumbing is hard for me haha.

It should work fine with the proper reducing fitting.

Schedule 80 Reducing Coupler Slip x Slip

Slip x Slip. PVC Pipes for your plumbing needs. Use Schedule 80 Reducing Couplers to change plumbing size. More professional look than white Schedule 40 PVC. The golden rule of plumbing is that every job takes three trips to the store. While this can be frustrating locally it can be much worse...

You just need a short stick of 1" PVC and a 1" to 3/4" reducer.
