Miles,
Yes, this is something that you should be able to fix.
In "theory" power should come from the SWCG circuit breaker and go to the Pump/Filter relay input side. The output side of the relay should go directly to the SWCG's transformer leads. Which leads are used depends on if the SWCG is being powered by 120 volts or 220 volts..
The whole purpose for this is so that the SWCG will not operate when the pump is not running. Although the pump/filter relay does not control the Intelliflo, the relay only comes on when the pump is running. In rare cases SWCG's have exploded because they were making chlorine gas when the pump was not running. Rare, but can happen. The Flow Switch also keeps the SWCG off when the pump is not running, but this is a secondary safety device and should never be uses as the primary safety device.
If this is not clear let me know and we'll figure it out. If you need to ask any questions, a picture of the inside of your ET would be best.
Thanks,
Jim R.
