As I understand it, it should go in the line of pipework after your filtration, in the line of the water return.
Unless I'm wrong perhaps others can help too!

wrong and right lol. the perfect place is after a pump and before a filter. but saying that i have mine on a skimmer line after the skimmer and after the pump but before the return. as long as its pumped fed it should be ok. mark
