    These units are designed to accept two different size hoses. If you are using the larger hose simply cut off the bottom portion, it is not of any use two you. It will not make a lot of difference but maybe some.

    The new one I have does not have the step fitting that has a smaller one can cut off.
    The inside of the pipe is only about 1" and I was worried it can not supply enough water to my 1 hp pump.
    Wonder why lomart makes thiers a bit smaller than normal.

    I would not try to modify it, the very little you might gain would not be worth it.

    Filter systems can usually take in more water than they can pump out. A second return is usually the way to increase the flow of the filter.
