The Attendant is capable of capturing the input from up to five separate water flow switches. These devices will be connected to the powered contacts labeled SW1 to SW5.
For specific instructions on installing a water flow switch into your plumbing, please refer to the device manufacturer instructions.
The Attendant uses flow switches to determine if the pumps in the system are working (i.e. primed and running). This gives The Attendant the unique ability to determine if the water flow has degraded over time and by how much. Reduced or stopped water flow can indicate that a blockage may exist in skimmer baskets or filters due to debris, leaves, etc. and that it’s time to clean them. It could also mean that something more serious may be happening!
We recommend that you have a minimum of one flow switch per pump in the system, preferably installed somewhere near the pump’s supply line.
