    Header won't drain into the equalized properly. Header may not have the proper distance above the water line. A drop header may have been a better choice. However if you are not having any issues I would not worry about it. Is the main parallel or counter flow ?

    I'd still repipe the problem at the left arrow. Water backing up there may cause banging, and corrosion may accelerate.
