Moving to SWG, where to install, design strategies

[Gizmo78163]

Gonna make my life more simple...
Here is a pic of my equipment rigging. Adding the Pentair IC60 to this long horizontal leg post-heater... what pieces, if any, can/do I move (to maybe the vertical leg off the heater)? And, can I totally cut out the tab dispenser and run the SWG vertically? Does anyone recommend leaving the dispenser in place for any reason? Do the bond connector and backflow preventer count as viable distance (12"-18") leading up to the SWG? With my A&A/Pentair floor jets (cleaner), do I need the vertical loop with a flow control valve (pg 5 installation instructions)? I don't expect my GPH would ever approach the 80 GPH mentioned, or the limit of 105 GPH. Any other considerations?

TIA,
Gizmo

I took my old tab feeder completely out and inserted the SWG in its place. If it's still too tight, you may need to get a little creative, but it's doable for sure. You may not need the backflow preventer either with the tabs gone. Let's see what other suggestions people have though.

If you're doing some replumbing, I'd remove the tab feeder, install the SWCG, and install a heater bypass.

+3 to dump the check valve and tab feeder. We recommend using a floater if using pucks anyway.


You could also bend this pipe to the left, then go up and loop back. There's plenty of meat to add a 90 upward before the bonding lug.




The IC60 needs 'upflow' due to the internal flow switch so it goes on the up pipe.

I agree. If you don't have enough room, remove it to fit the flow sensor and cell.
