Hi Gouldian, He mentioned its new..
To TS,
BTW, I am using soft piping from pump outlet to the PVC pipe.
So far so good. A BIG advantages I feel of using this section of soft piping is that my pump can be "off" position a bit without causing stress in the PVC pipe joints which might cause leak in future.
Even though my pump is submerged in-sump, just don't like the thoughts of the joints leaking.
