I am replaceing a very old wfds-8 whisperflo 2 hp with a newly bought intelliflo pump. I had earlier thought about replacing the backend only....however the volutes are different as my whisperflo is from prior to 1998. My problem is that whoever set up the pump earlier did not leave any extra PVC pipe to cut and attach a new coupling. There is literally less than 1 cm between couplings all the way to the filter valve (MPV). There is one 2" slip PVC Union in between the discharge and the filter line. Question: How does one redo the pumbling when there is no room to attach a new coupling or extra segment of PVC. Any previous ideas or experience? I thought about replacing one half of the slip union, but I am not too sure If I can buy the exact same type and brand? Thanks very much for your time

Hello everyone My neighbors bought a second had soft tub. Since they have turned it on, I cannot live in my house. The noise is astounding. It's a low pitched humming vibrating noise. I can hear it in every room of my house, over my TV. It's loud. It's 24 hours. The noise never abates. I can hear it on the other side of the street as well. It has to be bothering other people. It has given me an unrelenting headache. They have it on a cement pad, and have that thick white sheet insulation under the soft tub and the motor. It's about 10 feet from the corner of my house. There is no place else for them to put it due to the layout of their yard. What can they do to make the noise stop, so that I can live in my home again? We will need a solution, as it gets very much below freezing here in the winters, so not having it on wont be an option. I am willing to split the costs of something if it's reasonable. I do not want them to have to not have their soft tub because of me.
