So time for a quick re-work and simplification of that clustermess. Now on the upside, doing the rework turned out to be super quick. Opened up some valves, drained the area, did some rework, used the external input for the pump and got things back up and running in about 30 minutes.
I did get lazy and just put in a soft tube run from the res to the pump - honestly I have had so many problems with that run from all three itterations (including this run that is a bit too long so the fitting doesn't quite sit straight).
But this was definitely all I needed - priming the pump from the external source was a lot easier, and then the fill-up of the loop is quick and painless.
