Reduce the outlet in stages or you’ll throttle the pump & damage it. I found out the hard way & spoke to Clarke technical.

You need to keep the outlet pipe as large as possible a diameter for as long as possible, even if it’s just a few feet. You cant reduce a 2” outlet immediately down to 1/2”. It’ll work but you’re throttling the pump & it will wear out prematurely. Do it in stages. Looks messier, but doesn’t damage the pump.
