    Here is a picture of mine that I posted on gardenweb. It's a bit hard to see, but the water goes through the filter (on right) then the heater (black on left), and then through the chlorine cell. I was trying to explain to someone how my system has a manual valve and a one way check valve to allow some water from "pool mode" to be returned into the spa and then over the spillway to circulate the spa with the pool water.

    >>Here's a pic of my equipment. The light blue arrows point to the valves the aqualogic turns. On the left, after the chlorinator cell is the return side where the blue valve adjusts to 100% pool return or 100% spa return. With the valve turned to 100% pool return, the water flows down the left side toward the white arrow. The white arrow is pointing to the manual valve on the pool return side that is adjusted to allow some (maybe 10-20%) of the water to flow across the one way check valve (yellow arrow) and then down the spa side return with the green arrow.

    Is is mandatory to plumb in a bag of Doritos as a filter bypass? Is this where you vacuum to waste?

    I always wondered what that dorito bag was for. Vacuuming to waste. Now I know.

    Putting in an image is not hard. Just realize that it takes longer to download the forum thread so its probably not a good thing to do unless someone is really looking for a picture of something.

    The picture is hosted on another machine. I use the advanced editor and there is a button for including an image that asks for the URL to the picture.

    Yep, that's a Sta-Rite. So far it's been a great heater. Only 6 months old, so I'm knocking on wood now that I've said something about it.
