Compatibility and Fit
This flow switch is listed for use with compatible Hayward Goldline salt chlorine generator systems, including AquaRite, Aqua Rite Pro, ProLogic, AquaPlus, SwimPure, Mineral Springs, and related systems using compatible GLX-FLO-RP style flow switch connections.
If you are comparing another similar flow sensor option, the Briidea Flow Sensor with Tee can be reviewed as a related replacement for Hayward salt system setups.
Flow Detection and System Protection
A working flow switch helps protect the salt chlorine generator by confirming that water is moving before the system produces chlorine. When the sensor does not detect enough flow, the control unit may stop chlorine output and show a flow-related warning.
For buyers checking the complete salt cell side of the system, the Hayward W3T-CELL-9 TurboCell may be useful to review for compatible Hayward salt chlorination setups.
Installation Notes
The flow switch should be installed in the correct direction of water flow and tightened securely into the tee housing. Use the included tape only as directed, and avoid overtightening the threaded connection because this may damage the sensor or plumbing fitting.
If your system needs a straight pipe placeholder instead of an active salt cell, the Hayward GLX-CELL-PIPE Turbo Cell Straight Pipe Placeholder can be reviewed as a separate replacement part.
Before Buying
Before purchase, confirm that your existing system uses a GLX-FLO-RP style flow switch, that the 15-foot cable length is suitable for your controller location, and that the connector matches your control board.
For above-ground pool owners using Hayward AquaTrol equipment, the Hayward W3AQ-TROL-HP AquaTrol Above-Ground Pool Salt Chlorination System can be checked as a related complete system reference.
Maintenance and Troubleshooting
If the salt system continues to show a no-flow warning after replacing the sensor, inspect the pump, filter pressure, water level, plumbing direction, cable connection, and controller settings. A dirty filter, closed valve, air leak, or low pump speed can also cause flow problems.
For systems with return jet fittings, the Hayward W3AQ-TROL-RJ-TL AquaTrol Salt Chlorination System can be reviewed when comparing compatible Hayward above-ground salt chlorination setups.
