Heater Bypass Question for Above Ground Pool

[aldrich.ang]

Hi Guys! I have a 15x48 intex above ground pool and i just got a heat pump heater. My problem is I dont have space in the place where i have the pump and swg to accomodate the heat pump. I might need to put it on the other side of the pool.
I plan on installing a bypass, would it be better for the bypass to be near the heat pump or near the filter?
Thanks!

Welcome to TFP.

Really does not matter but I would put the bypass by the filter. It probably makes the plumbing simpler.
