Using a 90 before return pump inlet?

[Jaws]

Just wondering how detrimental it would be to use a 90 degree elbow before the intake of a Sequence Hammerhead pump? I'm trying to maximize the amount of room I have next to my sump as well as line up the outlet of the pump closer to the hole drilled in the stand. Thanks in advance

Not really, the bigger pipe size the bigger, large enough and the effect will be nil. The hammerhead has a 1.5" I think so you could use 2" inlet piping to minimize effect of 90. You can also use long elbows instead of short.

I have a 90 about 6" from my snapper hybrid with a 2" inlet. There are no micro bubbles or any cavatation that I can tell.

Like Sphelps said, use a long radius 90 or if you have room 2-45's.

Thanks for your help everyone.
