Horseshoe Pipe Repair

[KevinWagenknecht]

My pool building has used a horseshoe arrangements of pipes, that includes 4 90-degree elbows, to replace a leaking pipe to my waterfall. Is this the best solution for me? It would seem to make my pump work harder, but the builder says that this is the strongest solution. Is it?

Not based on fact and engineered calculation but 1 or 2 repairs like that would NOT seriously imped the water flow.
This is how we repair pressurized water lines.
When possible I lay the repair flat.
This is a good repair.
