Easy to install.

Took 5 minutes. Only tighten hand tight. I will say the shipping charges were excessive...but with no other options what do you do.

Took about an hour to install. Next time I'll put on Liquid Wrench and wait a day to loosen the retaining nut. It seemed to need a washer between the motor and the impeller. It may have been a build up of crud 'tho All in all OK

Simple installation. Took 10 minutes to fasten to my flexible copper water connection and then to the softener.
