Hello from Texas - Heater Questions

Setting up a heater on a 16x32 Kayak pool. A Hartford loop is recommended between the heater and chlorinator but does not spec a height or length. I found one manufacturer that says 6-8 inches above the chlorinator height. Any suggestions?

Best suggestion is to NOT use a tablet feeder along with a pool heater, ever. If you use tablets, put them in a floating chlorinator in the pool.
I've seen tab feeders destroy a heater even with a loop in the plumbing.

Thanks for your suggestion and sorry for the long delay in responding. I’ll be removing the tablet feeder. It causes additional issues that the pool installer did not cover.
