Aquarite and the Flow switch

[mrmrk49]

The flow switch has a major safety purpose, it is a precaution to detect proper flow. Without it, or if not properly installed, you can accumulate hazardous hydrogen gasses.
You can jumper the flow switch for the purpose of checking it, but never bypass it for normal operation.

Good point about the hydrogen. Although if the flow has stopped, the H2 generation will soon stop also. Restricted flow might let H2 accumulate in pipe/cell though.

But this makes me curious why all the manufacturers use in-line cells instead of the wall mounted like the old "Pure&Clear". I've heard that inline chlorine generators also degrade the pipes . Wall mounted cells is also much easier to clean, and to replace. Only down side is it is subject to damage from kids, etc.

ps if the saki post was to me - wrong Mike
