It is dirty.
With solar off:
Pump to first return jet (this is the one with the bubbles. This is also the one that practically turns into a hot tub when the solar is kicked on due to all of the air that's getting pushed out)....My guess is maybe 15'-18'. The next jet on that side another 10' and the next another 10'.
with solar off:
I'm going from memory, vertical maybe 10', horizontal maybe 35, vertical maybe 10, horizontal maybe 14, then into the panel, so that would be about 70'.
Here's a view from last summer. The first return just is just to the right of the chair.
Here's a view down the plumbing run.
Here's a view where it goes up and over the eave. Note, I hadn't finished painting yet, so the elbow stands out to differentiate from the downspout.
