Rotate mag-drive output??

[othercents]

Can you rotate the output on the mag-drive pumps specifically the mag3, mag5, or mag7s? I don't have enough space in my sump to lay the mag5 down flat, so if I can rotate the output then it will fit.

I believe you can....the four screws should line up in four different positions. I could be wrong but go ahead and try. If the screws fit and you can tighten them up, it should be fine.

They fit. I rotated mine on the mag3 but I don't have a way to test.

It's good, you can even move the little stand

Yeah now that I had to mop the floors from all the water, looks like everything did work. Means that I can place a mag5 into a 3 3/4" space in my sump to run a external skimmer without any issues. Just in case I re-opened the impeller cover and both the cover and pump are symmetrical.

That's what I thought......sorry about forcing you to mop LOL

I had to mop also. I didn't know the input from the output

Be very carefull with an external skimmer, IME the pumps need to be cooled by being in the water, when out they over heat leading to other issues.

The skimmer is an Aqua C EV120 which will have the Mag5 in the sump. It won't have any heat issues, but it is good to know for the future.
