Thanks all for your help. I posted several questions along the way for my install and thankful for the help I received especially from Jimrahbe on wiring and plumbing. In looking at pictures of others implementation I may have taken the Pentair instructions a bit too literal and might have done it a little different if I were to do it again, but it does seem to be working well. I read that I needed 3 feet of pipe after the heater and before the SWG and 1 foot of straight run before the SWG (that should be mounted vertically) so that is what I did. That meant with the 18 inches the IC60 takes and the 12 inches of run before I was about 3 feet in the air before I even ran off to the returns. Oh well - it might look like it was plumbed by Dr. Seuss but it is working great. I might have run it horizontal in seeing everyone's success with that. I also had a small leak on a couple of my PVC joints ( it was crazy trying to get that four return manifold installed all at once) and I used the Loctite Marine fix in the help section and it worked like a charm. Here is a couple of pics one of the plumbing and one of the Loctite fix. I will say I had to seal all the way around the joint to get it to stop leaking but it works. My grandchildren are swimming most days and I don't miss adding liquid chlorine every two days this summer.
