intex Krystal clear SWG low flow sensor

[crokett]

I opened my pool last week. I turned on the SWG for the first time yesterday. It threw the low flow code, but my pump is fine. After a bit of research I found a reference to a missing magnet on the flow sensor. It does look like mine is missing. I have a plastic arm where something might have been glued. There is no magnet, so it either fell off over the winter or is in my pool somewhere.

Before I order a new sensor I’m hoping someone can confirm a magnet is supposed to be there.

This is the part. The picture doesn’t really show one.

Post pics of your broken flow switch if you still need help.

Having that type of piece break off from a flow switch is a common problem.

I ordered the part. I talked to a friend who has an earlier model. It looks like the switch is the same across both models. His has the part on it.
