Grundfos UPS fitted in vertical position (25 years) needs replacing, replacement indicates the the shaft should be horizontal, however this will require a re pipe around the pump which will be a problem as it is 1" MS and a tight location. Any easy get outs?
 
Easy option is to ignore the instructions, but it'll shorten the life of the pump and invalidate the warranty. Otherwise, repipe
 
Cheap option Find an installer with a old grunny, and ask him to swap the head.

Feng shui : orientate the shaft to compass north.

On no account fit an Erp compliant pump. Bad vibrations.
 
Can you post a photo?

Many pump positions can be rotated to create a horizontal shaft.
