Hi all , im after a flow switch to go inline in my pwr charge cooler hoses. Im after one that is open when water is flowing and closed when not , so i can sound a alarm when the pump isnt working correctly. Any ideas ?

much thanks

You could just put a temp sensor in the circuit somewhere ,that'd soon let you know when something is up :agree:

Think i will do the tempp thing anyway as i have a spare sensor and gauge knocking about. Was just keen to be told something was up thats all' because unlike a fmic where i know the air is always there im not sure the pump is :) thanks for the ideas


ps Clee dont give up ya day job :sad2::wasntme:

surely the 1st indication would be higher charge temps?
