I had to dig up and replace a section of flexible PVC return line that had collapsed and pinched on top a rigid line. Hole is about 2'x2' and 18" deep. Should I just toss the dirt back in there or is sand or pea gravel better?
Best fill material for flex PVC repair? Gravel, sand, dirt?

NO DIRT! It settles. Sand or gravel are fairly acceptable but #57 rock is better......no settling.
#57 rock is washed gravel with pieces ranging from 3/4" down to about 1/4".....I think. put it all around the pipe and you will be good to go.
