I am wondering if you guys removed your chlorinator and installed the swg where it is? I do not have a lot of space to put it and was thinking that was an option since the swg would be used while away (only use chlorinator while away)
Limited space to install swg

Can you post a picture of your entire equipment pad. They don't eat that much space. After the filter or heater is the basic location.
Here is pic of everything
here is a pic of where chlorinator is
there is a long line of line here but then i would lose access to serviceable parts in heater
could i install it before the chlorinator without any problems?
what is that fitting that has "flow" on it? A check valve ?

WOW you deserve an award for that pad. I won't say what the award is but you deserve one.
Yes you can replace the tab feeder with the SWG. It will work fine there.

You have a couple places where there are long enough runs for a SWG cell and flow switch. My first choice would be just eliminate the tablet chlorinator and put it there.
+1 on that suggestion. Or you could use unions in front of that heater panel so you could remove it when you need access.
I hear you. They went a little overboard with the plumbing!
im sure it was replumbed since install and they just pieced it together
so leave the check valve and put swg after it where chlorinator is?
Just wanted to point out that the booster pump should be teed in after the filter .... While you are considering doing some plumbing 
I don't think the booster would need to be after the heater and SWG, any reason for that?
No, not specifically. I almost posted that as question rather than a comment. Here is my thinking.
1. Mine is that way. it ties into the return line right as it enters the ground. It goes only to the line for the returns after the 3way valve that splits waterfall/returns.
2. My heater is looking for a specific flow to achieve a 2°c rise for max efficiency and turning on the booster would send a lot of water through it.
3. If you plumb in solar later do you want that extra flow and pressure going through the solar panels?

I can see a slight advantage for using filtered water to supply the booster, but mine was right next to (and shared it's supply with) the main pump, and it was never an issue. I don't see any reason to replumb anything re the booster pump.
Thanks for input guys. I do not use booster pump as i just got a robot so no need to change that!
