Glx-Flo-Rp Flow Switch for Hayward Salt System & Salt Cell with 15 Ft Cable

I was hesitant to order this as it was so much cheaper than the OEM version. I read some reviews that said it did not work but took a chance anyway. It arrived next day and was super easy to install. After it was installed the unit still read no flow but in about 2 minutes everything was working correctly and my flow rate appeared on the Salt Generator display.

UPDATE: This device lasted just over 3 months, I just got the same error again and have to purchase another one and replace it...AGAIN. Yesterday morning I got an alarm from my Hayward omnilogic "no water flow timeout flowsensor". My system is almost brand new, this is only our second season. 1st season with the swg hooked up. After much research this no flow issue causes the pump and swg to automatically shutdown after 15 mins as a safeguard. Just to save you time, there is no way to bypass it. The bad flow switch tells the unit there is no water flow when in fact the flow is fine. Apparently this is a common issue with these hayward flow switches. They go bad and one little switch can essentially shut down your system until its replaced. So I ordered this product, removed the old one and installed it. Worked perfectly and we are back up and running! No thanks to the wonderful Hayward products, this isn't the 1st issue I've had with them. Not very impressed with them as a whole but I'm stuck with them now. Easy install if you are handy/technically inclined. If not have your pool guy or someone capable do it.

This works great with the Hayward salt cell. It’s been in a few months without any trouble

Always have to have one of these around. Without one nothing on your pool will work properly at all. Bill C

For the cost I guess what should I expect?! Quick and easy install, has an arrow on top for flow direction. I have purchased a number of these and have to replace them every year, they just all of a sudden stop detecting flow. Replace it in 10 minutes and good for another year or so. Do recommend keeping the wire off the ground, have some animals that seem to like to chew through the wire.

So far, so good. It fit and worked immediately.

Bought this hoping to correct my no flow issue. Instead I received a warning that my cell was too hot. Turns out the flow switch didn’t turn off my salt cell. Instead kept in running 2 nights in a row while the pump was off. Checked panel and flow was on while pump was off. Hydrogen gas throughout system bubbling in pool. Lucky it didn’t blow up! Do not buy.

I got this as my display was showing no flow and as it turns out the problem was with the board itself and not the flow sensor. However, I ended up using this and the size is just like the original one I was trying to replace. The build material seems decent, and the price was reasonable, compared to competition.

Fonctionne très bien à moindre prix

Works as expected for a fraction of the cost of OEM.

Works as advertised

Amazing...installed today and working like great. I installed it on my Hayward AquaRite salt watwr system

I just got my sensor today. I'd to replace existing one because I was getting a short circuit on it, ie it was always showing there is a flow of water even when my pump was switched off, I replaced the salt cell after only 3 seasons of use because I got both check salt and check cell lights on all time and no salt reading at all a week a go and then I noticed that the no flow light is always off even when there is no flow and I believe that this was main reason why my salt cell went bad as it was generating all the time even when there was no flow. Today I just replaced the sensor flow with this one and I tested the switch before putting it through the pipe that it works by manually switching it on and off , then I added it inside the pipe but couldn't get it to turn off until I removed the o-ring around it so it is fully fitted in. So far it seems to work. It is a little bit different than the one I originally got as it is all plastic but if that works I'm fine
