yes, i'm aware of the explosion risk if the cell runs without the pump...but the clocks are synchronized, so running while the pump isn't on isn't a concern even though it's technically possible. the way it's wired now is the way it was wired from the builder. the pump has constant power and runs on a schedule, and the cell timer (now sonoff switch) matches the pump's schedule.
the SWG is on a sonoff switch which continually syncs the time via NTP (was previously on an intermatic timer), and the pump has battery backup so the clock going out of sync isn't a concern. i was more concerned about it happening potentially when it was on the intermatic, because i was constantly having issues with the stupid little tripper things falling off. with the sonoff running the salt cell it shouldn't be an issue.
i was more asking if the temp issues i was seeing before could be related to the flow switch being bad, not worrying about the possibility of the cell exploding. i'm planning on moving to a nodejs pool controller over the coming months which will take care of the clock synchronization even further.
