OK so here is some pics and a description of the plumbing on my 75.
here is a link of someone building a Durso Drain.


Under Tank.jpg

This is under my tank. Drain on left return on the right. The drain is 1 inch and the return is 3/4 inch. From the look of your pics, you have the same as I do.

This is the return at the top of my tank. It is over the top of the overflow. There may be a punchout on theoverflow (not using mine at this time) see below.. this overflow has a pair of punchouts to run your return thru. If you can use Locline (see plumbing at BRS) it is good to use.

This is the punchout on the side of my overflow.

Have a look at Sicce SDC 6.0. It is WiFi controllable via your phone and has many built in things similar to the Vectra but $10 cheaper. It also has a 5 year warranty. I have the 7.0 and am very happy with it. Has 11.5 max head, same as the Vectra. and same max flow in the 1450 gph range. Vectra S2 uses 72 wats max and the Sicce is 40 max. Basically that means less heat..
Hey, whats the noise on the 7.0 like? I'm hearing different opinions.

I barely hear mine.. I cant say its dead silent but I have enough room noise that it is not on my noise list.. Using semi home made overflow boxes making enough gurgle to cover most motor noise. If I get into the sump, I can hear it.
