Nope it can work just fine. I prefer to ensure I use a large diameter plumbing (say 1.5 or 2" ) as 'far' as I can to the pump's intake. Try to use slightly larger hose than the pump's intake size and you should be fine.

Cheers,

Chris

I have 2 elbows into my return pump. But also larger size plumbing to lessen restriction. Works great
