Pump is working well after several weeks. Initially I tried to plumb it in by using 3/4 inch to 1/2 inch adaptors (Shark Bite) . The threads did not work. Next I tried the supplied adaptors which took it down to 1/2 inch. I tried 1/2 inch to 1/2 inch NPT SharkBites. I could not get the thread to match. A plumber came out and took out the Shark Bites (including two 45's that I used to replace a 90 degree angle) and it started to work and had been pumping hot water for a month now. Works as expected.
