New Pump and Plumbing question

Thanks for the answers. I'm assuming your answer also means that plumbing a new pump is NOT a handyman project?

We see it done successfully, with some frequency. But not all handymen have the skills needed. Not only do you need to be able to make up good PVC joints (both threaded and glued), you need to know your way around a 220V circuit, a multimeter, and have a handle on the difference between grounding and bonding.

Plumbing isn't always difficult but it can be very time consuming so given the choice, I would avoid it if possible.
