Replaced the return line with 2" flex, and have some questions and concerns:
1. Will only running a return in the deep end (bypassing shallow) cause issues? To reach the shallow return it would require boaring through the wall.
2. The new line was plumbed to the original pipe that comes through the wall. In order to make the connection there are two 90 elbows within a foot of another. Cons?
3. The new line is sitting in a trench, when the pump reprimes the pipe moves up and down. Is this normal without backfill?
4. What to backfill with? Original material was clay. After sitting out and melting with the rain there is quite a few rocks on top of the mounds...
