Plumbing for SWG

[DAB942]

Good morning,

I was going to install it this morning. When I measured the Circupool 60+, it's about 13.5", which is longer than the tab feeder I have.

So, I'm going to have cut and do some zig zagging. Looking for advice for making the length of the cell.

Maybe use a right elbow our of the 3-way valve to go further right, then a couple left elbows (u-turn) further away to give you move length in the back run? Or you can use their vertical installation kit?

Mine is now vertically oriented. Used to be horizontal until a pad re-plumb. You may save some footprint area by doing that.

That's what I was thinking, initially. But, after thinking more, vertical will probably be an easier installation with alignment. For horizontal, I'll have to add a coupling after I cut to match height and then aligning the two sides. Vertical might be easier and keep the same footprint. When I replace the heater, I foresee a major re-plumb anyway.

I think you're spot on. I think that will make for an easier install and save me a mile of PVC.

Had a break in the storming. At least got the plumbing done. We took the bracket to hang it with u,s to the hardware store. My son hid it and then took the car and left. So, that will have to be tomorrow.

Here's a picture of mine vertically right after I self installed.

Will fire it up today after I wire it -- if it's not raining.
