Omni PL is a great choice.

Salt cell should be positioned so hump is down. Make sure there is sufficient ground clearance to do that.

We recommend you have a heater bypass valve…

Overall looks like your plumber did a good job. All diverter valves. Did he install a backflow preventer on the fill line?

Great info thank you!
I don't need the aqua right 900 with this layout? Also, have him flip the Turbo cell and raise it higher off the ground.

Why should the hump be facing down on the turbo cell? He might tell me it doesn't need to be fliped

Hump down ensures the plates are fully covered in water even when you run your VS pump at low RPMs and flow.

Cells with hump up can have generation problems working at low RPMs.

Allen,

I don't know anything about Hayward equipment, but wonder where the cell gets its DC power if the AquaRite 900 control box goes away?

I'm here to learn like everyone else.

Thanks,

The OmniPL has integrated SWG control on its board. Cell plugs into the OmniPL board. Same a OmniLogic and ProLogic systems.

Done!

Plugs in behind that red sticker in the control panel.

Poolman,

I was only looking at the little white control box... I completely missed the main panel with all the circuit breaker.. Duh!!

I told you I knew nothing about Hayward equipment...

Thanks for the course correction.
