Re: SWG Install Project
Hey Daren,
Depending on the overall diameter of the cell union, how about cutting off the 1.5" pipe from the left side of the Jandy valve, and using that side? These valves are designed for 1.5" pipe if glued to the I.D. of the valve, but allow 2" if glued to the O.D. of the valve. If there is enough space to glue the union directly onto the valve and the valve handle can still turn, you should be fine. This will save a little space.
I notice that their instructions allow the flow switch after the cell or before. My recommendation is to mount the flow switch before the cell and it must be on the same line (not as their diagram #4 shows - flow switch before the valve, and cell after).
The reason is that the higher concentration of chlorine "MAY" affect the material of the flow switch. If it is stainless steel, it "MAY" corrode. If it is a plastic, it "MAY" erode or deteriorate. But that's just my opinion. I'm sure it must be ok with them because their instructions show it as acceptable.
Thanks for selecting a salt system!
