I installed a Hayward Salt system about a year ago. I had a lot of problems at the time with the flow switch. It would not allow the generator to stay on long. I realized that if I had the valve positioned so that it would go through the gas heater I would have the problem. If I changed the valve so it would bypass the heater, the system would work. I now have the system connected to solar heat. The generator will not work at all since I have to have it going through the heater and I am sure it is the flow switch. I'm not sure how sensitive they are nor the quantity of water that must flow through the switch to keep it in the positon to turn on the generator. It may be that I just need to purchase a larger pump. The current pump is a Hayward 1.5 HP super pump.
I could run the pump to heat the pool and then bypass the heater to generate chlorine but that will be a pain to do often and will require running the pump more.
What to do?
