Just installed my SWG after learning here how useless my U.V./ozonator is. My delaop25 ozonator is bypassed/turned off and I set CL200 inline chlorinator to 0. Plumbing sequence is heater to flow vis to chlorinator to swg. Flow vis was retrofitted so that’s why it’s not installed after the chlorinator so I can’t quantify GPM loss.
I originally was going to leave in-line chlorinator in place as a backup but concerned about it causing significant flow rate reduction due to its 3/4” bottleneck and perceived lower than expected pressure at return jets. I do have an elbow before and after the chlorinator.
Also concerned that if I ever do use chlorinator the highly acidic outflow will damage my SWG plumbed after it.
So should I notice a significant flow improvement at the return jets if I remove the Chlorinator OR should I leave it be? I only have 2 returns so any extra GPM improvement helps.
Thank you
