Is the sand filter clean? There have been times when I couldn't feel water out of the jets and come to find the sand filter needs backflushed.
New VS pump, came home to no return flow and a full water basket at low RPM, help?

That’s a good thing to check.
I might also see if you can place a post it note over the return jet to confirm its not pushing any water out. It may just be very low pressure especially if its spread across a few returns.
If water is being sucked into the skimmer, water is moving.
Sorry, doing this from the phone is annoying.
2) No idea how long. I wasn't home for a lot of yesterday, so it was between 10 and 5 I'd say. Not really helpful, sorry.
3) 15 to 18 range. Usual for my filter.

Ha, yeah. That's what I had in my phone at the time. All the pipes valves look like that.
I'll take a more inclusive later.
The good news is that at 1800 RPM everything was working fine when I got home.
The answer to the problem is going to be the heater bypass.

When installing the heater bypass you need a diverter valve on the inlet heater side and a check valve on the outlet side.

How old is the heater?
Has it ever been serviced and the heat changer cleaned?
Have you had any issues with the heater?

Not sure. I'd say quite a few years. We bought the house and it came with it.
We never serviced it. Not sure about the previous owners.
And no issues. Ran it back to back days last week and worked flawless.
