I always assumed it was a CYA legally to ensure the flow switch will fall down and stop production when flow stops….just my theory.Thanks and good to know. Mine have always done just fine horizontal. Out of curiosity, is there some kind of reason why Pentair wasted ink saying, "Install SWC vertically for best performance" in the manual? Maybe to give themselves an out on warranty claims? I hope not.
I’ve seen a few like that, didn’t like it but snuggled it into the groove and it sealed. Perhaps dumb luck.Here's another thing I changed this morning. I kicked this new OEM o-ring to the curb. It is one of the new ones Pentair sent me with my replacement SWG. It looks like it may be the wrong size? That would be a funny trick to play on a customer. Don't know, don't care, all's well now.
