Yes! It helps me. I better set my canister on a stand....it's on the
floor below my tank.


If the input and the output are at the same level, the filter isn't
lifting the water. The force of the inlet water coming down balances out
the force required to push the water back up.

OH...okay then! This helps too! Glad you pointed that out. I don't have a
CLUE about plumbing.
