A Goldline flow switch with no tee comes with a fifteen foot cord. It fits both Goldline and Hayward generating systems for saline. It is a safety device. It should always be used to determine if water is actually flowing through the cell before the salt system begins to generate the saline. If it is not in place the pool plumbing system can become filled with dangerous chemicals.
It needs a one foot straight pipe installed up stream of the flow switch for proper operation. The Goldline flow switch has to be plumbed together with the cell in order for it to work properly and detect the proper flow of the water. If the cell is plumbed before the switch that will count as the twelve inches or one foot necessary for proper operation.
There is a video demonstration online that you can watch to see how the flow switch should be installed and how it will work properly on your swimming pool. A Goldline flow switch has an arrow on it. You have to make sure that the arrow is pointed in the correct direction of the water flow. This will help you to determine which way it should be put in and will also insure that it operates properly.
Sometimes the control panel of the salt system will flash the words no flow for a few seconds when it is first turned on but it should go off as soon as it detects that water is flowing through. The Goldline flow switch should be checked if the control panel on the salt system reads no flow. If it does not quit showing no flow on the control panel you should immediately check the flow switch for proper operation.
If the water is flowing the right way and the control panel of the salt system is still flashing no flow then it is time to replace the flow switch. The Goldline flow switch should not be replaced if you can determine another cause for the flow problem. You can get all of the pool supplies that you need online.
