depends on the way you look at things i guess Supply to the tank
return from the tank


Anyhow the pump has a 3/4" input if i have a 3' pipe and 2 elbows of 1
1/2" will this obstruct the pump?

I think I may be catching up. Let me get this straight. You have a
return pump. Is it in the sump, or external? Placing too small a
supply line on almost any pump can cause cavitation, which will tear
up a pump. Elbows add friction, increasing the chances of this.

I think we're just confused by the 'supply pump' term.
