Replumb a leaking 2" flow switch T

[wireform]

Hi, good day all. Question: have A bad glue joint on a 2" tee with a flow switch in it. The original is a 2" tee with reducers on both sides for the 11/2" plumbing that runs before and after. Can I use a 11/2" T and just plumb without reducers or must I use back a 2 inch and use reducers.TIA,
Allan

The time has come to replace my ancient ball valves. Waiting on the truck to deliver the new Pentairs (cheaper than Jandy, and locally parts are more available). The pool was originally done in all 1 1/2" pipe. When I had my new filter installed, they used 2" from the pump to the filter, and a...

A flow switch is activated by water velocity and not actual flow.

The flow switch comes with a T that is designed to provide the correct velocity to match the flow.

Use the T that is provided by the manufacturer so that the flow switch is correct.

For example, if the T is 2", the flow is 25 gpm and if you switch to a 1.5" T, the new flow is activated at 14 gpm.

+1 That T is a 2"S X 3/4" FIP X 2" S. The flow switch will not fit a 1.5" T that has a 3/4" tap its too long for that size T, and I've never seen one, though they may exist.
