Could this Hayward flow switch be used with a Pentair SWG?
It looks so similar. A little splicing and a fella could save $40.....

The Pentair flow switch contains a thermistor so it can calculate salinity. In fact, thats what fails, not the switch itself.
You can add an appropriate temperature probe and wire that up on the Pentair. There is thread on the forum I believe about it.

Phil,
Are you replacing the flow switch because you have a flow problem or a salt level (thermister ) problem??
I ask because the thermister can be replaced, external to the SWCG, using a standard temperature probe.
