I have a chugger pump, similar to the march pumps. How does everyone orient their pump head?
I have my inlet pointing down and my outlet pointing straint up, how does everone else orient their pump?

Same setup for me. Out let pointing up and inlet pointing down. I do have a tee hooked to my inlet with a QD for hooking up hoses on one end and a ball valve on the other. Makes priming it really easy and helps get out air to avoid cavitation.

yeah i have just the ball vale on the out let, i do have street elbows on one of my hoses, so that it doesnt kink escicialy when recirculating with the HLT
