The Aquarite has lots of wire. Probably 10 or 12 feet on both the chlorinator wire and the flow meter. You still have to worry about the flow sensor, the unit won't run without it. However, the unit itself counts as the 12" of straight pipe. The flow meter is ad addtional 3 to 4". I would say the combo is 16" total. You also will need screw fittings at both ends of the unit for inspection and cleaning. Best bet, go to the aquarite site and download the manual. It has lots of pictures.
The Aquarite manual shows the flow meter after the Aquarite in all of the installation diagrams, so hopefully if it corrodes it will be under warranty.
