You're right. Your suggestion to dig is a good one to see if I can eyeball where the outlet joins the return line. Are there one way valves that can be install to stop the back flow?

I appreciate you taking the time to think through this with me. Here are a couple of additional pictures. The first is the inlet pipe, which extends directly from the valve I'm talking about.

I didn't take any pictures of when the valve was taken apart. But here's an external photo so you can see the kind of valve I am talking about.
