Hello,
I have just purchased a new variable speed pump that is replacing 1.5hp single speed. I have a suction side sweep and a Hayward 36sqft DE filter. The current plumbing includes an elaborate upside down "U" on the vertical side between pump/filter. My question is, is this necessary? There is nearly a straight shot from the pump to the filter, so is this by design to take this extra loop?

New Plumbing from Pump to Filter
Hi
An image would be helpfull
However I would think a straight connection with out any unnecessary fittings would be better
The only time I see the need for a loop would be for an expansion loop in a long run of pipework, even then it wouldn't be inverted
