Here we go. This is a video showing why the inlet and outlet of a canister filter should be on the same end of the tank.
When you see the muck (simulated by neutral buoyancy gel filter balls) being shifted to the same side of the tank as the outlet there really should be no argument about where to locate the outlet and intake of any canister filter.
However, I'd still expect people to argue over the placement of both the outlet and the intake - that's just how the internet is ....
For a thinking mind, when you see exactly where the muck goes in a water current the choice of where to locate the intake and the outlet of a canister filter becomes obvious.
Unfortunately there are still many 'experts' making videos online who ignore any sort of common sense who say that the intake and outlet should be on opposite sides - that is wrong as this video clearly shows.
If you found any sort of value in this video please feel free to share it anywhere online - the visuals don't lie.

Also, if you're interested in learning more about filtration, water conditioners and how to create a set up which is low maintenance with perfect water check out the FilterPro Q&A page here: filterpro.co.uk/qa-24-w.asp
*SUPPLEMENTAL:* Avoid using any water conditioners which claim to 'remove / detoxify or bind' the ammonia, nitrite and nitrate since they will starve the bacteria which are needed to process the ammonia, nitrate and nitrate. It is quite obvious.
Go for a normal conditioner like API Stress Coat geni.us/BHYeb which will simply make the water safe for life.
