6.5" is ideal, the DC model is far more adaptable to water level but that should be nearly perfect. The bottom bushing needs to be pushed in with a dowel or something similar, you cannot push it in with the drive unit as it will just ride up the shaft and not push in. This is the number one cause of noise on any of these pumps, this bushing can come loose in shipping. Keep me posted, I will exchange the pump if this continues.
