I'm finding out that 3" vs 2" is quite a price jump. I'm planning 3"
from the skimmer and bottom drain. Now I have question about how to
plumb the 3" into the 2" fitting on the pump. What would be the outcome
(pro's con's) of 3" downsized to 2" in the red circle on the diagram at
bottom of page. Thanks

Short answer: Yes.


All I really want to know is, is it worth going to a 3 inch pipe from a
1 1/2 inch port from the filter.



Slightly longer answer: Maybe someday you'll want to enlarge your pond

or
pump and will then have a jump on the pipe size. As my SO always says

(she's
so cute) bigger is always better.
