I have an Autopilot Cubby/RC-5 in deck system. Considering switching to SC-36 In Line. Anyone tried this? Would prefer to do it myself......does not seem too difficult.
Three questions
1. Does the SC-36 need a separate flow switch?
2. What are "Unions"?
3. How do I know where to plumb? I have a heater and spa.....
Convert from In Deck system to In Line

1. SC-36 manifold has a built in flow switch
2. Union is a type of fitting which you can unscrew to disconnect the pipe. I suppose you are referring to the cell , which is connected via 2 barrel unions, so they can be unscrewed and cell can be taken out for inspection.cleaning/replacement.
3. Should be the last one on the line. You can plumb it either before a spa diverter valve, or after. I would suggest doing it after, that way you won't overchlorinate your spa in a spa-only mode.
Hope that helps.

Normally you are supposed to fit the SWG the last on a line, because high chlorine concentration in the water after it passes through the cell can corrode other equipment.
I'm not sure that i understand correctly what this control box is, but if there are no metal parts inside it then it should be fine fitting the cell before it, otherwise you need to fit in the cell after it.
