My current setup as built by pool builder has 3 way valve after filter:
1) goes through water temp sensor -> heater -> check valve -> (just installed) CircuPool SJ-30 SWG -> tablet chlorinator (not using for quite awhile)
2) is bypass for everything in #1
I also have suction-side Zodiac MX-6 vacuum cleaner. I have quite long pipes runs, as need all the flow I can get when cleaner is running. That means that I have to partially open bypass valve after filter.
It usually works fine with heater on (although I bet less efficient probably). I've just installed SWG (CircuPool SJ-30) and at low flow rate it would gather a lot of air/gases to the point where it senses low water level in the SWG and stops.
Right now I am planning to order valve actuator to install on the 3-way valve after filter to open it up only when the cleaner is running. But I was wondering if there is a better solution available.
I've removed both cartridges from the builder's installed chlorinator, so I don't think it affects flow that much. The larges bottleneck in flow is probably the heater.
What I really need is to keep same pressure no matter what speed my VS pump (Jandy ePump 2.7hp) is running. I was thinking a pressure relief valve after 3-way valve would solve it. So it always keeps flow through the #1 route above, but if pressure increases - it would gradually opens up #2 route. On the picture it is circled X is where in the path I was thinking to put it.
Quick google search did not uncover anything like that used for pools. And I was wondering if there is clear flaw in my thinking or perhaps it is viable and someone already done something like that?
