Reliable Water Flow Protection for IntelliChlor® Salt Systems

The Swimables IntelliChlor® Style Flow Switch (SW-75-736) is a critical safety and performance component designed to monitor water movement in Pentair® IntelliChlor® style salt chlorine generator systems. This flow switch ensures chlorine production only occurs when proper water flow is present, protecting both the salt cell and pool equipment.

Without a functioning flow switch, salt systems may fail to generate chlorine, display flow errors, or risk damage by operating without adequate circulation. This replacement restores proper system communication and safe chlorine production.

This product is engineered strictly for swimming pool and spa equipment use.


What a Salt System Flow Switch Does

A flow switch confirms that sufficient water is moving through the salt cell before allowing chlorine generation. When water flow drops below safe levels, the switch signals the control system to shut down chlorine production.

This protects against:

  • Chlorine gas buildup

  • Salt cell damage

  • Heater and plumbing stress

  • Unsafe operating conditions

The SW-75-736 delivers accurate flow detection to keep IntelliChlor® style systems operating safely.


IntelliChlor® Style Compatibility

The Swimables SW-75-736 is built in an IntelliChlor® style configuration, commonly used in Pentair® IntelliChlor® salt chlorine generator systems.

It is frequently replaced during salt system diagnostics and pairs naturally with components found in the Salt Chlorine Generator Collection and Pool Automation & Control Parts Collection.

Always verify compatibility with your specific system before installation.


Common Symptoms of a Failed Flow Switch

Flow switches are exposed to constant water movement and electrical cycling. Common signs of failure include:

  • “No Flow” or “Low Flow” error messages

  • Salt system not producing chlorine

  • Intermittent chlorine output

  • System shutdowns despite proper pump operation

  • Visual damage or corrosion on the switch housing

Replacing the flow switch restores proper chlorine generation logic.


Essential for Salt Cell and System Protection

Salt chlorine generators rely on accurate flow confirmation to operate safely. The SW-75-736 helps:

  • Prevent chlorine generation without circulation

  • Protect expensive salt cells

  • Maintain consistent sanitation

  • Extend equipment lifespan

This makes the flow switch one of the most important safety devices in a saltwater pool system.


Built for Harsh Pool Environments

The Swimables IntelliChlor® style flow switch is manufactured using pool-rated materials designed to withstand:

  • Continuous water exposure

  • Chlorine and saltwater environments

  • Outdoor equipment pad conditions

  • Long daily pump runtimes

It is designed for durability and dependable long-term performance.


Ideal for Service Calls and Preventive Maintenance

Flow switches are commonly replaced during:

  • Salt system error troubleshooting

  • Salt cell replacements

  • Annual system inspections

  • Automation upgrades

Pool professionals often replace the flow switch proactively to prevent future shutdowns.

This part pairs well with salt cells, power centers, and temperature sensors found in the Salt System Replacement Parts Collection.


Installation Notes

General installation guidelines include:

  • Power off all pool equipment before servicing

  • Install in the correct flow direction

  • Ensure wiring connections are secure

  • Do not overtighten into plumbing

  • Confirm proper flow status after startup

Professional installation is recommended for salt chlorine systems.
