Another thing to consider is the hose diameter. Thicker hoses reduce resistance, so if you're extending, maybe upgrade to a wider diameter. My setup uses 5/8 inch hoses instead of the standard 1/2 inch, and it helps maintain flow.
Solid point, fam. Thicker hoses are a game-changer. Just make sure your filter's output can handle the wider diameter, or you'll end up with a weak flow.
