My thinking behind the question I asked FiTech on the 1/4 return line was,... would the pwm controlling of the pump at slow and low cruz speed be enough to where the 1/4 return would work? But the conversation never quit got that far, he didn't like that small a return.

Any of you guys think the 1/4 return would work with the pump speed reduced?

PS: Just got a return call from a friend who thinks the 1/4 return would work with the reduced pump speed. Not sure at the moment which way I'll go, but if I did, my lines are stainless and would require farrows to work. Probably easier to just run a correct size hose and be done. Just keep try'n to stay with the factory appearing look.
