I just ordered a Circupool UL40 to replace the Amazon non name brand special swg that pool builder installed. My current swg is a plug in type, not bonded and does not run on a timer. It has an internal flow senser that shuts it off if no water is filling the unit. My pump is hardwired directly to the breaker panel. I keep seeing everyone talking about wiring the swg to the same timer as the pump, but my panel doesn't have a timer since the vsp has a digital timer. What does everyone do in this instance? I thought thats what the flow sensor was for am i stuck with a swg that i cant use?
 
What type of pump do you have?

The flow sensor on a SWCG is a backup safety to turn off the SWCG with no flow. The primary feature is to have the pump and SWCG powered on or off together.

What is your schedule on your pump?
