So after spending my weekend up north building a deck on front of my camper i came home sunday night at 4pm to 80 degree weather (rare for may in WI) with some ambition left to start a rigid plumbing project on the pool with hopes of having it ready for memorial weekend (I can dream right!).
After a trip to the hardware store i managed to get all my supplies in 1 shot and had the project done in just over an hour.
After i stood back and looked at it completed, i have hesitation that it's not going to go well tonight when i fill the pool up, add the shock and fire up the pump.
We just bought the house last June and i didn't bother plumbing in the heater and i used flex hoses. I also didn't have any valves in last year so i never cleaned the cartridge filter all season.
But man, it just seems like i have a lot of pipes running around and i'm worried i'm gonna loose alot of suction and output pressure.
Thoughts?

FYI, behind that filter is my frog system which outputs directly to the pool.

In case the pipe path isn't clear:
Comes in from pool skimmer, through pump bucket, through pump, out to filter, in filter, out of filter to heater, optional valve to bypass heater, out of heater to frog, from frog to pool.
