I am in the process of plumbing a new Cor 15 in my sump and have a question about the location. Due to space constraints and getting everything I need into the sump, the intake side of the pump will be about an inch away from one of the walls of the sump. If I flip the pump around 180 degrees the return hose will rub on the drain line. I need to have the pump facing this way and this close to the wall to have the space I need. Will it be an issue having the intake that close to the wall or should I make sure I give it a little more room?
