Question… if you installed that flow switch, would you even need the visual flow meter? And couldn’t you install the flow switch internally? I’m guessing you just like to look and have a visual? Personal preferance?
You are correct, you don't need a visual flow meter once you have the switch. I just did not feel like removing it, and I do like seeing it spin. As far as the flow switch location, i could have installed it the tube compartment like you said, but I already had water in the hoses and didn't want to get water all over when cutting in. Plus i figured it would be easier to change if needed.
When the water flows through it you should have continuity between the wires. You can check the resistance with a multimeter. Should be low when the water flows.

i took mine apart and then dropped it , which way do the parts go back in?? :(
These is an arrow for the flow direction on it. Did you take the sensor apart?
@@asquaregarden yeah i took it apart ,2 pieces inside, i think i got it back together properly, i just need to test it somehhow
how would i check this with a multimeter

hey, how can I connect it without the connector?
I would use some 14 or 12ga wire and solder the leads to that. Like I did, just bypass the connector.
perfect! thanks
You're welcome!
