Hello everyone,
I'm in the process of upgrading my pool system and need some guidance on installing a new Salt Water Generator (SWCG)and a Zinc Anode. The space I'm working with is quite limited, and I'm trying to figure out the best way to route the plumbing to accommodate both additions.
The equipment I'm installing includes a CircuPool CORE35 Salt Chlorine Generator for the SWGand a Pool Tool 104-D Zinc Anode. My initial thought was to route the tubing upwards and across the two pool pumps, then down and behind the pool timers to save space. However, I'm not entirely sure if this is the most efficient or advisable approach.
I'm fairly new to pool ownership, I'm open to any suggestions or best practices you might have. If there are any specific considerations I should keep in mind for these models or if there's a more effective way to organize the plumbing, I'd greatly appreciate your insight.
Also, if there are any other system upgrades or DIY-friendly pool systems you recommend, I'm all ears. I have some experience with electrical work, having replaced mechanical timers with electrical ones, so I'm comfortable with tasks of that nature.
I'm looking forward to your advice and recommendations to make this installation as smooth and efficient as possible. Thank you in advance for your help!
Best regards,
Ed
Update: Added more photos of my pool system per request
Update2: After some feedback and clarification, I will not be installing an anode as it is not needed. But I would still like advise on best way to route the SWCG. the manufacture recommends about 11inches of piping for installation.
Update3: Just wanted to post an update on the plumbing update for the SWCG I installed. It's working perfectly, I turned the filter, bought new adapters for the filter, and purchased sweeps for the right angles.
