Piping in circupool core55

[Berrymerica]

We had a horrible pool install with undersized piping installed which left me with no option but to relocate our equipment. We have since decided to add a SWG and I need some advice on placement. Any input would be appreciated. The picture with red circles is my initial idea to tee in a SWG. We bought a circu pool core, it’s much larger than I expected.

Well I have never seen pipe work shaped like a HEART but it seems to work.
You want to place the SWCG on the horizontal section after the heater (the lower Red circle) but before the 3-way to the return plumbing.
The plumber did install a heater bypass but he used standard PVC ball valves (blue handles). Over time those can get stuck so plan to move them ever so often. Be careful because the handle can break as well if you need to apply a lot of force.

shape. That was all done by me I had ptsd on system resistance so I wanted all smooth turns no hard 90s. I will have to re route the heater return to higher in the system to achieve that SWG location but I’ll look into that. Thank you for the input.

Just one more thought. Are those sweep elbows pressure rated as Sch 40? Sometimes people get confused and use DWV piping which is not pressure rated. Just want to be sure.
