Orientation of Stenner Pump Acid Injection point and Flow Switch

I am installing three pvc threaded t-fittings for acid injection, flow switch, and potentially chlorine injection (just in case I ever decide not to use my SWG for whatever unforeseen reason in the future - I am just going to put a cap on the 3rd one for now).

Purely for aesthetic reasons alone, I would like to orientate the t-fittings upside down. Meaning the injection point for the acid and chlorine (potentially) as well as the orientation of the flow switch would be underneath the pvc pipe instead of on top of it or coming out the side as is what I typically see in pictures. So my question is simple, it is, can I do this? Will it cause any problems having any of these items upside down?

The flow switch I have is the one from Hayward I got for my T-15 cell. It comes in the P-KIT and works simply by a little mechanical arm being pushed against a wall by the push of the flow of water running through it, so seems to me that this would work just fine no matter horizontal, vertical, or upside down since its function does not seem to me to be gravity dependent in any way.

Not so sure about the acid. I have the 100psi Stenner pump with a check valve. I think this should be fine upside down as well, but just want to be sure.
