SWG----Want one next year!!!!

[graciec]

I think i want one next year. Do i need to plumb extra pipe to have it added or can it go where the in line feeder [hopefully] used to be? My brother is an elec. engineer and did all of our other pool electrical...could he do the install most likely?
just want the basic model........will have to start deciding on the brand......

For the most part, all in-line chlorine generator plumbing will require about 12 to 18 inches of straight pipe to plumb in the cell. As long as you prepare and leave that much pipe after all your equipment, you should be fine.
An in-line erosion feeder uses very little space and may be less space than is needed.

where does it go? after the heater? Is there a photo of what one looks like installed here on the forum or on another site i could look at? Thanks!

It goes after all your equipment (yes, after your heater too). If you have a pool and spa combo, the type of system you have will depend on if you place the cell before of after the diverter valve to isolate the spa. If you have a pool only, it will be the last item in your plumbing before it goes back to the pool.

graciec, I just finished my SWC install last weekend. It's really isn't very complicated. Someone who has worked with PVC before and has decent electrical skills can do it.

I will try to post a photo to see if you can tell me where it would go[ i have an idea]........I am worried that I don't have enough pipe 'space' for the generator.
I don't have a seperate spa......
