SWITCH-FLOW,REPLACEMENT,NO TEE | GLX-FLO-RP-25
Hayward GLX-FLO-RP-25 flow switch detects water flow in a pool or spa system. It’s a crucial safety component in systems like Hayward salt chlorinators (e.g., AquaRite), ensuring that the system operates only when there is sufficient water flow to avoid damage or unsafe conditions.
- Flow Monitoring:
- Inside the switch, a paddle or sensor is placed in the water stream.
- The paddle or sensor is displaced or activated when water flows through the pipe.
- If the water flow stops or is insufficient, the paddle/sensor returns to its resting state.
- Signal Communication:
- The switch sends a signal to the chlorinator or control unit indicating adequate water flow.
- If the flow is sufficient, the chlorinator proceeds to generate chlorine.
- If the flow is inadequate, the system shuts off the chlorinator to prevent overheating, damage, or improper operation.
- No-Tee Installation:
- This model connects directly to the plumbing line without requiring a “tee” fitting, making it easier to install in certain setups.
- Safety Assurance:
- Stops the salt cell from operating without water flow, which could cause harmful gas buildup or overheating.
- Ensures the pool’s water chemistry stays balanced by producing chlorine only when flow conditions are met.
