I am replacing a submersible pump in an existing pond/waterfall with an
external pump and pressure filter. I want to direct all of the flow to
the waterfall, i.e., the output from the pump and the filter is to go
to a single 2" pipe that supplies the waterfall.

How should the ball valves be positioned to correctly control the flow
to the pressurized filter and the flow of the waterfall?

Can I tie the output of the pressurized filter back into the line
feeding the waterfall?

Should I tie the output of the pressurized filter in before or after
the valve that controls the waterfall rate?

Here is a diagram of what I am planning. Is this correct?

"How should the ball valves be positioned to correctly control the flow

1 valve between the pump and filter and another valve in the presumable filter bypass

Can I tie the output of the pressurized filter back into the line
