I am gonna tap the plug on the bottom or one of the ones on the sides and add a valve so I can drain if needed. How is the right side of the outlet mounted? I can see a balck piece of steel going up toward the outlet line of the filter, but cant tell whats going on there. Maybe if you get time a pic there would work.
Mine has a sump drain plug there already. That piece of steel is just spot welded to support that end of the filter. It is NOT attached but the filter outlet fitting is just resting on the top of it. Its really not needed, just overkill on my part. If I had to do it again, I wouldn't put it back. The 3/4" nipples torqued together don't budge one bit. I did add extra rubber bushings under the pump housing (sheet metal base) to provide a good sturdy mount.
