Salt Water Chlorine Generator

[waterbear]

Can't really speak about the Polaris unit specificlly but all the SWG cells that I am familiar with are plumbed after the pump/filter/heater on the return to the pool. Same as an inline chorinator would be. You have to realize that the chlorine level in the cell is very high when it is generating (sort of a 'supershock') and that level of chlorine would not be good for the equipment.

From the picture you should have plenty of room to do some re-plumbing for your SWC (IMHO).

PVC is cheap, and really easy to work with (if you have the right tools and you spend some time thinking about your setup). I'd think you could solve your problem for less than $25.

Attached is the section where I'd have to fit in a 12 inch cell. I'm no plumber but do have a considerable amount of experience. Thinking of all the 90 deg.
I'd have to install seems to be asking for trouble/leaks. Any suggestions?
I have considered moving the whole Jandy assembly out but this would protrude 14 inches over the sidewalk. Not a viable solution.

Thanks for your reply. I appreciate all the suggestions I can get.

Cheers

Another reason the cell is plumbed after the filter, heater, etc is to protect the cell from contamination. I don't think you want all the pre-filter junk going thru the cell.

It looks like you have enough room for the cell on the left side of the Jandy valve (vertical). Dig down into the ground and install the cleaner T underground with the 1" pipe 90 out of the ground (making room). This should give you enough room to install. You will have to put a union on the pipe coming from the pump, a coupler or union on the right side of the Jandy valve, unscrew the site glass and unscrew the filter unions to do this. Hope this helps

Blond, welcome to the forum, If you move the boosterpump feed to the line comming from the pump into the filter, you'll have all the room you need on that 2" return line to place the cell and flow switch. Hopefully this hasn't come too late
