So working through the manual and draining my block....i removed the big circulating pump hose and there is a weird looking spring in the bottom of the hose. See attached pic and blue squiggly indicating the weird spring....is that supposed to be there?

Yes it needs to be there, the spring keeps the hose from collapsing.
