Instead of using `orientation : left`, leave it at `right`..

1. Scale the pump by (-1, ). That will mirror the pump, the vanes, the label and the value horizontally.
2. Mirror the value back by scaling it by (-1, 1).
3. Mirror the label back by scaling it by (-1, 1).

Everything should look right, the blades will curve the right direction (which they don't when you change orientation).

Your infeed pipe connection should probably align with the centre of the pump rather than the outlet to reflect reality.
