Thanks for the diagnostic tip. I used the screw driver test and it showed the flow switch failed. I replaced it with a Hayward replacement flow switch and it's working now. The video saved me a lot of time and avoided a costly service visit!

Great video! This solved my problem and prevented me from spending money that I didn’t need to spend. Your explanation was clear and simple! Thanks!

Thanks for the really helpful video. I followed your steps to diagnose the problem, replaced the flow switch, and now it’s working and generating chlorine again. You saved me a lot of time and money. Thank you!

Solid! Was able to diagnose what I actually need without spending loads of money. Thank you so much for posting this video. Very detailed!

Wow. You saved my life. Worked perfectly and discovered it was the flow switch. I just took an old telephone cable and cut the end to reveal the wires and connected the wires together so that it completed the circuit and then plugged the other telephone jack into the unit and it tricked the card into thinking there was flow. Perfect!

Perfect video. I didn't know about the flow switch after having this system for 15 years. I found the screwdriver test made the board work. My cord had actually been cut so I've ordered a new part. Thanks so much for your time!

Thank you so much for this video! Newbie here! I tried the flat screwdriver test and it blinked. I disconnected the whole connector and reinstalled. The new pool guy had screwed it into the salt cell unit in the wrong direction. Working perfectly now!!!

Absolutely amazing video! Thank you for the troubleshooting tips. I had the exact same problem with a new Hayword T-9 that just installed. I used the screw driver to trick the board with the screw driver and got the blinking no flow light. That let me know that the head unit was working just as you stated. The most important tip for me was when you said make sure the flow arrows were in the right direction. Mine was not. I adjusted the direction of the flow arrows and it worked like a charm. Thanks so much.

This helped me a lot. I was so happy to see that little red LED start blinking when I did the screwdriver test. Thank you!

Thank you for this video. Your simple instruction on trouble shooting saved me hundreds of dollars while allowing me to resolve my issue.

Thanks! You have saved me a lot of time and money by this tip. I thought that my AquaRite board had died, but it was simply the flow sensor. Again, many thanks!

Great tip! I was able to verify the switch was bad using this technique. We had just replaced the main board which legitimately failed, and then the flow switch decided to die a few weeks later, and this tip helped us verify that.

Saved me a bundle! My flow wire was accidentally clipped by my whipper snipper! Repaired and back in biz! Thank you!!

Great video. Thanks. I thought I was going to have to call in a pro, but it was a very easy fix thanks to this video.

AWESOME! I was thrilled to use your screwdriver trick to see if it was indeed the flow sensor. We had replaced our generator board a few years back so I was pretty sure and crossing my fingers that it wasn't that but just as you said.... it BLINKED! Bought the new sensor (only $30 at our local pool store) and tested it the way you backtracked to show us... yep! WORKED! Installed it in minutes and we are working again! THANKS!!!

This video was excellent and helped me so much. I was able to get an after market flow switch that I bought from Amazon to work by adjusting it 1/4 turn until the NO FLOW light started to blink. Your video gave me excellent information!

Thank you. I found a off-brand with the same model number on Amazon for less than $30 and it worked great.

Awesome! I am not a tech in any way shape or form...but I was able to watch this, diagnose, and fix the problem. So simple. Thanks!

Great video. Learned a lot from this. Changed my flow sensor and system working ok now. Thanks for the tip.

I did the test like you showed and the No Flow light did flash. Lead wire is still good, so definitely the sensor (only about 3 yrs old). Now I just have to find a replacement sensor. Thanks for the video and information.

Thank you Brother from Toronto Canada! You saved me $200. As you acknowledged… jumped the gun.. A little long if you want to gain followers but you led the way to figuring it out.. thank you!! :)

Great video thank you for the direct information without all of the nonsense other people do. You tricks to the trade saved me money! Thanks again!

Thank you this helped alot, did the test with screwdriver so I knew the problem was the flow sensor, I removed it and there was hair wrapped around the tab keeping it closed, removed hair screwed it back and now works!!!

Thank you!!! After seeing this I checked out the flow switch wire and something had cut thru it! All spliced and now it's generating again, woohoo!!

Great video! One of the best self-help videos I’ve ever seen. Thank you so much!

Great video and instructions. I successfully replaced my flow switch and all is good with my salt system - got the "generating" green light. Thanks so much for helping me save $$s.

Dude! You saved me a ton of grief and have my pool generating chlorine now. Took an old phone wire, cut in half, split the wires, stripped to copper, twisted together and plugged into AquaRite. Now there's flow 🙂. Now I can relax waiting for replacement flow switch. Just have to remember to turn off generator when pump is off.

Thank you for your excellent video tutorial, I was able to fix this by myself. I actually had the new flow sensor from purchasing the replacement cell 3 years ago, so I was able to fix right away. Thank You!!!!

Very helpful. Thank you so much. I'm installing a brand new system and it's been a nightmare.

Excellent video. Everything worked perfectly. Thanks very much for your expertise.

Excellent.. explained in details and professionally, I did noticed one thing when I pulled mine though - noticed that no matter what direction the metal contact is facing (supposed to be face the water flow) it all rotates together when you screw the cap on, so essentially the entire housing moves which can position the metal flap in the opposite or any direction, unless mine is not well that's what it did to me. Nonetheless, after I re-screwed it worked well.

Awesome video my man.... I owe you a beer. Job went perfect I changed the Flo switch and after a min the flashing light stopped. And it said generating. In green. Ty .

Thanks a lot for this - definitely helped me narrow down the cause of my no flow light (Flow switch). Everything back working now

Perfect spot on tip for No Flow! Thanks!

Thanks for the video. I had a pack of RJ11s so I just took one and made a loopback plug to test the flow sensor contacts.

Great video and thank you for putting this info out on the web!!!

THANK YOU!!!! You saved me a ton of money. Great job!

Thanks for this video. Saved me a lot of money. I replaced the flow switch myself.

The tips you told me how to deermine if the board is wrong or the switch is wrong are really helpful.

Thank you very much for that info , that was my problem 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Hey I did your trick and it work thanks you save me a lot of money

Thank you for this useful video!

Good advice! I did that, and I found the same results you got. Thanks Man!

Thanks a million. This was very helpful.

Excellent video! Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for this video! You saved the day!

You just saved me a ton of time and money. Thanks!!

Good video, followed your advise and solved my problem. It was the flow switch. Thanks

Great video!! Easy to understand and our No Flow switch is fixed.

Thank you for the excellent information and saving money.. I ordered a new flow switch.. 👍🙏🇺🇸

Thanks so much for your video ! Very informative and very professional !

Outstanding, thanks for the info.

Excellent video. Just saved me a ton of money

Thank you! Great tip, makes perfect sense.

Thank you for this video! I was able to quickly diagnose the problem and fix it without having to call a pool company to come out!

Great instruction!!

Great Video and great advise . Thanks. You may want to clean the tip of the screwdriver of rust and paint. That’s probably why you had to wiggle a bit to make contact. Thanks again.

Thank you! Saved me a ton of money

Very helpful. Thank you 👍🏻

Helped solve my problem ordered new switch and replaced. Thanks

Thank you for that tip! Flow switch on order!

Had this happen yesterday, turned the pump off and on and it cleared it. Now I’m thinking my switch may be going bad. Thanks!

You saved me a lota time,, it was the flow sensor ! Replacement cost was a staggering $82.00 !!

Great video!

You just saved me a bunch of 💸 cash! The screwdriver trick worked. Cut out the damaged part of my float switch and rewired it, and it started working again.

Great money saving tip!

awesome work my man. exactly what i needed. you da man!!!!!

Thank You That phone type jack test You showed worked I had an old phone jack and shorted ONLY the center wires (Red & Green) to replace the screwdriver test (and did not short the Black & Yellow) It is generating now but the Inspect Cell light is Yellow I just replaced the cell back in June I am going to look at more KZfaq videos and see what the INSPECT CELL light is connected too Ken in Florida

Thank you! You just saved me a service call!

Thank you!! Helped me diagnose this issue. Whew. I even tried an older switch and still had no flow. Weird. The screw driver worked to figure it out

You hit the nail on the head! THANX BROTHA!! You saved me at least $200. Did the crew driver test-it was the Flow Valve. $23 part from Amazon-pool store want $100. Here is my question-do I EVER PUT THE BOX ON SUPER CHLORINATE? If so, when do I do it. My pool got cloudy because the flow flow was dead an I didn’t realize it.

Very helpful, thanks a lot!

This was helpful thank you

Amazing video thanks

great video.nice tip

Either way, thank you so much for the video. My cell is clear and now I know the board is still functioning. Time for a new switch

Very helpful, solved my problem. thank you

Well this is great video. With screw driver I was able to verify unit was good and it was flow switch. But just sprayed some contact cleaner on connector terminals and inserted a few times and flow switch works again without replacing. So this does not account for dirty connector contact interface. But still was huge time saver for me since was not sure whether unit or flow switch was causing the problem

Thank you for the knowledge.

Greatly appreciate your help

Worked! Got a $20 replacement. I had thought I needed a new cell since I think I submerged the whole cell I'm acid solution to clean and it stopped working. I think the residual acid that was in the cell must've hit the sensor and messed it up

Thanks for tip, very helpful

very good video ,thank you.

Great video troubleshooted exactly liked you showed. Thanks for the tip!

You saved me from opening up the control panel to the circuit board.

Thanks a lot for this video ! quick question, I turned off the filtration and closed valves, but I still have a geyser when I unscrew the flow switch... how can I make sure the water will not evacuate strongly despite all the valves being closed and pump turned off ?

Great - thanks for the help.

Great video

Worked! TYSM!!

Great advice

Great video, thank you

Awesome video. Thank you! Hope the mosquitoes weren’t too bad!

Thank You!!

Omg you are my hero right now!

Nice video!

Thank you so much !!

Was I the only one fixated on that mosquito? It was on his face, hands etc. Those things give me welts. 😂
