OK thanks for the info. I had all the hard pipe but couldn't make the turns I needed to. this will save lots of hassle. Will I be ok to use the 3/4" vynil for the return line or should I use adapters to be able to use 1". I bought a bulkhead that is threaded on both sides for the return as per a recommendation and now I'm finding the adapters to get to 1" make it stick out real far and make it less stable.

I'm finding this venture very stressful since I want to get it right the first time and not mess around later. Been doing fresh for over 20 years and salt is a hole new world to me. A whole lot to learn at once if I want to plan ahead.
