Hello,
So I want to install a SwG this season. I am leaning towards the CircuPool Core-55 for my 27k pool. I like the Core system for the compactness and ease of install. I want to put it in the blue area, inside the red arrows, after the filter but my booster pump gets water off the return before it goes into ground. (Yellow Arrow). The entire system has a timer in the basement but I don’t use it now that I have put on a variable pump with its own timer. The timer in the picture is for the booster pump but I don’t run it off the timer because wife won’t let me leave the net on my Polaris because of death to the frogs, so I tend to run it manually for a couple of hours as needed. I have read that ideally the SWG should be last but I’d prefer not to redo the pipe if not reallly needed at least not this year. Is it ok to run it this way or must I change it? I could run the booster pump without SWG on if that helps but salt would be flowing through the booster pipes all the time. Thanks

Having the SWG before the booster pump pickoff is fine. It is not a problem to run the booster pump and cleaner with the SWG on.

You do need to connect the SWG to a timer to ensure the SWG Power is off when the pump is off.
