I need some input on external pump install

Thanks much for the reply, I guess I'll just leave it alone. I have to
change the check valve, but will not repipe it. The pump is already about
a foot underground now. The top of the pump strainer basket is just on
top of the ground.
Hey, beautiful pond!

If you are able to prime the pump, then it really doesn't matter if it is at
the current location or in a pit. If you put it in a pit, you need to be
sure the pit is well drained. The Sequence pumps don't like to run under
water. Mine did once, tripped the GFCI, and after about 2 days of drying
out, it ran well, but I don't recommend drowning the pump. A pit sometimes
makes it easier to hide the pump, but again, be sure it drains well.
