okay so what do you recommend because the CircuPool came with 4' of wiring I need at least 12'
is it possible to open up the CircuPool and wire in the old wires directly to the CircuPool therefore not having any splices?

You should be able to.
Open it up and take a look at how the supplied wires are connected
perfect! my only concern is the Warranty is that still going to be valid if i remove their factory connection?

You could install a junction box under the CP control panel.. Run the conduit to the junction box and make the connections inside.

I still don't understand why the SWG is connected directly to the pump and how scheduling is achieved. Will the connection to the pump send 230 volts to the RJ+ control center and only receive power when the VS pump is activated?
yes I believe that is exactly how it is set up currently, the pump turns on and 2-3mins later the control center is powered, when the pump is off i have no power to the control center. Should it be set up a different way? Now may be the time to make any changes

That's exactly the way it should be set up. I didn't know the Jandy pump had that capability. That makes the connection easier. You do not want the SWG powered on when the pump is off and there is no flow.
okay great so now the question is connect old wiring directly to CircuPool Control module or Junction box below to make my splice. I can handle that, Thank you guys so much!

Lots of great tips so far. Basing this on some of those and the biggest question is how much room you have in your horizontal.
Based on your original photo, with the yellow in my diagram being your existing salt cell and pipe, how much room do you have? If you are at roughly 20, you should be okay.
You'll want to cut the yellow near the blue diverter, but leave enough room for your Tee fitting (the flow sensor that came with the RJ.). 2 inches should be minimum.
You'll want to cut the yellow near the red elbow, but leave enough room for your union - including sliding the rotating ring back. I'd say about 2.5 inches.
Then you can plug in your RJ. as such....
If you don't think you have enough room, you can put the flow switch before (below) the red elbow.

Make sure you install the flow switch after the SWG on the horizontal...

Right so closest to the blue Tee which is actually my Valve?

Okay I’m hoping for some help, attached is how my pool pump was wired and the end of the wires that hook up to the controller.
Previously the Jandy controller had 2 black wires the red and orange were on.
I just want to make sure I do this right, does anyone know where my new controllers black and white hook up to orange or red?

Is your pump 240V or 120V?
If 240V then red and orange can go to black and white. Which does not matter.
It matters if we are discussing 120V wiring.
Trying to figure that out, if there’s no white wire (neutral) in the pumps wiring then it’s 240?

240V wiring does not have a neutral.
The white wire means something different when the SWG is set for 240V.
