I'm no pool expert but I can do the basic maths. I'd presume the limiting factor on how much water will pass through a pipe is its cross sectional area, and that these are circular pipes. If so, the area of a 1.5 inch diameter pipe is pi x .75 x .75, and of a 2inch diameter pipe is pi x 1 x 1 . So two of the smaller pipes will have a combined area of 1.125pi sq. inches, more than the single bigger pipe at 1pi sq. inches. Two 1.5" pipes into a single 2" line is acceptable for your flow rates. The flow rate will depend more on your pump than the two 1.5" diameter lines. You could add a third, or even more lines and individually isolate them with ball valves so you can adjust the flow from each as per the requirements of the pool.

Pipes? You mean tobacco pipes or just regular pipes? I don't think you'll face any punishment if there were no drugs... If you mean regular pipes, did you steal them or something? Was there a fight? Be more descriptive with your question, otherwise there will be no reason for you to get punish just for leaving your backpack and pipes outside your house.
