Reliable 1" Flow Switch for Enhanced Chemical Feed Pump Performance
Experience precise flow monitoring and improved system protection with the M310-100-PW, 1" Flow Switch, pre-wired for easy installation. Designed specifically for chemical feed pumps and water treatment systems, this flow switch ensures efficient operation and safeguards your equipment from flow interruptions. Its robust design and pre-wired convenience make it the dependable choice for maintaining optimal chemical dosing and system integrity.
Key Benefits
- Ensures accurate flow detection to protect your chemical feed pumps from dry running or malfunction.
- Pre-wired design reduces installation time and minimizes wiring errors.
- Durable construction withstands harsh water treatment environments for long-lasting performance.
- Compact 1" size fits seamlessly into existing systems without requiring extensive modifications.
- Improves system safety by automatically monitoring flow and triggering alerts or shutoffs.
- Compatible with a wide range of chemical feed pump accessories for versatile application.
How It Works
The M310-100-PW flow switch operates by sensing the presence and rate of liquid flow within a 1-inch pipeline. When water or chemical solution passes through, an internal paddle or sensor detects the movement, activating an electrical switch. This signal can then be used to control pump operation, ensuring that chemical feed pumps only run when flow is present, preventing dry running and potential damage.
Integrated into your water treatment system, it acts as a guardian component that maintains proper flow levels, enhancing the reliability and safety of chemical dosing processes and protecting downstream equipment.
What to Expect
Upon installation, you will immediately notice improved system responsiveness as the flow switch accurately monitors flow conditions and communicates with your chemical feed pump controls. Within the first few days, the unit will stabilize your pump operation by preventing unnecessary run time during no-flow conditions. Over weeks and months, this reduces wear and tear on pumps and extends the lifespan of your water treatment setup.
Routine maintenance is minimal due to its sturdy design, but periodic inspection ensures continued accuracy and performance in your chemical feed pump system.
What’s Inside
- Pre-wired electrical assembly – simplifies connection and reduces installation errors.
- 1" flow sensing paddle – detects liquid movement precisely within standard pipeline size.
- Robust housing – protects internal components from corrosive chemicals and water exposure.
- Electrical switch mechanism – delivers reliable on/off signals to control pump operation.
How to Use
- Turn off power to your chemical feed pump system before installation.
- Locate a 1" section of pipe where the flow switch will be installed, ensuring proper orientation for flow direction.
- Mount the flow switch securely in line with the pipe, using compatible fittings as needed.
- Connect the pre-wired electrical leads to your pump control panel or relay, following standard wiring guidelines.
- Restore power and test the system by running water or chemical solution through the pipeline to confirm switch activation.
- Perform routine checks to ensure the flow switch remains free of debris and functions correctly.
