I am getting work done on my pool and one of the guys out with the iCHLOR system doing the install says there is no flow senor on this unit and if there is power going to it then it will run 24/7 and never shut off and burn itself out. He packed up and said he is going to talk to the pool company and say I need to hardwire my Pentair Intelliflow to a old fashioned on/off timer and it will shut off and cut all power to keep the iCHLOR from breaking.
Does this seem right? If I have to shut all power off I am going to be losing my time settings on the pump daily and having the variable speed pump shut down doesn't make any sense to me. I thought these SWG things are supposed to sense water flowing through them and if it's empty it wont be trying to make salt out of thin air.
Is something wrong here or does this SWG really need power to be cut off daily?
I see this right in the manual "The Power Center is connected with the pool circulation pump electrical source so that the electrocyclic cell only operates when the pool primp is on" I never turn my pump "off", if this doesnt have a flow sensor this sounds like I made a terrible and expensive mistake.
