When I opened this spring, my SWG indicated "no flow" when the opposite was obviously true. Water was flowing at the normal level. The problem was quickly sorted out as a corroded telephone plug. I understand that you must have water flowing through the salt cell for it to do its magic. What I can't understand is why you must have a flow switch when water flow is so easily observed! I hope that someone can explain why this switch is necessary and not just another potential source of revenue for the repair man.
Before I had determined that the problem with my switch was just a corroded telephone plug and I was thinking about replacing the switch, it occurred to me that in order to get the SWG producing chlorine, I could just place a short across the connector on the control unit, either by rewiring an old telephone plug or perhaps just shorting the two points with a piece of bare wire. Was this a bad idea?
