Hey folks,
I plumbed in my slide so that I wouldn't have to deal with a garden hose anymore. When I turned it on though, I was only getting a trickle of water coming out, despite having great water flow in my pool.
I see 2 potential problem points so wanted to see what you guys think is more likely the culprit.
1) The 1/4" tubing starts by my equipment and goes through 100' of 1/4" tubing before getting to the slide. Would I be better off using 3/4" for the 100' and then switching to 1/4" by the slide?
2) The T that I used to plumb in the slide has the 1/4" tubing coming out the right side. See below:

I figured the pressure would be enough that it wouldn't matter, but do I need to replumb it so that the T is facing down? Like this:
