My neighbor has a Swim Pure Hayward SWG.
When he firsts turns it on, the red flow light flashes. When the flow is restored the light goes out and NO lights are on.

What's up?
Thanks
I don't have a heater and was thinking maybe adding MA to the skimmer when necessary will cut down the times I would have to soak the Salt Cell. Crazy?
The Swim Pure control box display reads "Cold" and the green Generating light is blinking. The water is 82 degrees. The cell was just cleaned.
What's up?
It's my neighbors pool....
The red light reads "check salt" (my Taylor kit measures 3600ppm).
The green "generating" light is on.
The readings are:
2900
84
24.7
5.6 / 5.7 (on then off then on)
2900
If the "generating" light is on will it produce chlorine even though the "check salt " is on?
Thanks folks, I used the phone jack trick and it cleared the red light.
I'll replace the flow switch ASAP but I really don't see much that could wear out with them.
Thanks again. I'll get a meter.
Meanwhile, I took a second flow switch and plugged it in to the control unit (leaving the original installed) and taped the paddle to the main arm. Shouldn't that cut the red light off? It didn't......
Is there a way to test the flow switch. I unscrewed it and touched the 2 pieces together and expected the control box "red light" to go off. It didn't.
Yep, that's your 3rd. They are super easy to replace. I'd get an extra after market now. You'll need it sooner than you think (translation...the minute you are out of warranty).
Two small tips. When you cut the old one out, screw the new one in before you connect the wires. Second, buy a pack...
I help several neighbors with their pools (translation....I have bought many Pentair style flow switches). I've noticed both after market and OEM seem to last about the same time, which is way too short! You can end up replacing 2 through the life of the cell.
To verify, the flow light and salt light are green, but the Cell light is flashing?
Yes, kind of strange.....
I just replace the flow switch with no changes.
