Hayward Flow Switch Assembly GLX-FLO-RP — 15-Foot Cable Replacement for Salt Chlorine Generators

The GLX-FLO-RP is a direct-fit replacement flow switch assembly with a 15-foot cable built to restore proper flow sensing on Hayward salt chlorine generators.

If your Hayward salt chlorine generator is showing a no-flow fault or failing to detect circulation, this GLX-FLO-RP replacement kit (flow switch assembly without tee) provides the compatible sensing component and long cable needed to reach typical equipment locations. It’s engineered to work with Hayward salt chlorinators and matches the electrical and mechanical connections used in factory installations, reducing troubleshooting time and eliminating the need for costly system changes.

How does this flow switch help my salt chlorine generator operate reliably?

Flow switches tell the chlorinator when water is moving through the cell so the system can safely produce chlorine. A functioning GLX-FLO-RP prevents false no-flow shutdowns and ensures the generator only runs when circulation is present, protecting the cell and extending service life.

• Restores proper flow sensing for Hayward salt chlorinators
• Prevents unnecessary shutdowns due to false no-flow signals
• Compatible with factory wiring and mounting points

What are the key specs and installation points I should know?

The assembly is supplied without a tee and comes with 15 feet of cable to reach control boxes mounted at a distance from the plumbing. Installers typically mount the switch inline where the unit manufacturer recommends, then connect the cable to the chlorinator’s flow-sensing terminal following the wiring diagram in the equipment manual.

• 15-foot pre-attached cable for flexible routing
• Sold as the flow switch assembly only (tee not included)
• Designed to match Hayward salt chlorine generator connections and dimensions

Can I install this myself, or should I call a pro?

If you are comfortable with basic pool equipment wiring and plumbing, this flow switch can be replaced by a knowledgeable DIYer using the generator’s manual for guidance. However, if you’re unsure about electrical connections or sealing the plumbing, hiring a qualified pool technician ensures safe, code-compliant installation.

• DIY-friendly for users familiar with pool equipment wiring
• Professional installation recommended for uncertain electrical work
• Follow Hayward wiring diagrams and local electrical codes

How do I troubleshoot after fitting the new flow switch?

Once installed, power up the chlorinator and verify it detects flow without triggering fault codes. If the no-flow light persists, recheck electrical connections, confirm correct orientation of the switch in the flow path, and inspect for air locks or closed valves that may impede circulation.

• Confirm secure terminal connections and correct polarity
• Bleed air from the plumbing and ensure valves are open
• Swap back to the original unit only for verification if issues continue

Who is this for: Pool owners and service technicians using Hayward salt chlorine generators who need a reliable, OEM-compatible flow sensing part with ample cable length. This GLX-FLO-RP assembly suits backyard pools, light-commercial systems with Hayward equipment, and anyone replacing a worn or damaged flow switch without changing the chlorinator platform.
