Can the middle pump section be rotated 90 degrees to make it a side discharge (keeping strainer and motor sections in same orientation)?

Yes, you have to remove (4) long bolts from the back of the motor and then you can rotate the pump 90 degrees. I had to do this and it has worked well. The Hayward unit has worked well for me and is a good deal for the money.

Mikel and Adam, you guys hit it right on the head. Thanks for the advice. I called Hayward for advice and was told that there was nothing that I could do but to purchase a matrix, go figure.

You can also get a splitter to divert the flow in 2 directions to lessen the flow in one direction

Hey Larry....To be honest, I don't know but I installed it in place a Jabsco which had quit. It works great but I think you are wondering if it will lift. I can't remember if the intake and outlet can be rotated. Sorry...

Yes, but not easily because it is flush with the rest of the tank. This is annoying, but, if you generally keep it pointing in a single direction, and so aren't readjusting it often, it's not that big a deal.

If the flow is reversed. The cutoff valve will be useless. I would not recommend that you do that.

Yes! It always springs back to one side. I had my plumber come to adjust it, but it still happens... :(

Yes, it can be changed from left to right. Basically turn the main part of the unit upside down and switch the drain and plug from top to bottom. The name plaque can be removed and installed right side up. Quite simple design.

It has a locking tab on the side as you probably know. It is hard to turn, but if you can relieve the pressure from your pump it will turn. I have a strap wrench I use to make it easier.

There is a wire on the side opposite of the rotating shaft, if that makes any sense. Imagine trying to hang a gallon paint can by its handle, only smaller.

I found when you 90 split one side and straight line another it will affect the flow pressure on one side. I am converting all emitters over to orbit adj sprayers and direct line connectors. Much better flow less deviation with water pressure and NO stop flows. You wont like emitters and will love the sprayerss

With the motor on top, and the pump at the bottom, the inlet should be on the left hand side. Outlet should be on the right.There are small arrows cast into the plastic diaghram housing of the pump.

Pump heads typically have hose barbs at a 90 degree angle, so that wouldn't change the angle, just the connection (it would be more universal)... everything on wheels may have a shrader valve but it screws into nothing else.

Output faces up at bottom of pump . I used PVC elbow to have it turn to the side

I don't know if the unit was designed to operate on its side. I doubt it because it needs to drain condensation moisture. Better ask the mfg this question.

Yes. And you can make the rotating valve work 360 degrees if you want by breaking off the "stop". That way you can block all incoming water from the pool from reaching the pump skimmer basket and the pump itself if you need to clean out debris, etc. .

Yes, if by "rotate" you mean to have the in port on one side rather than the other.
