In this review the Flow Switch Replacement Part for IC40, IC20, IC60 and IC15 salt generator cells is judged on fit, ease of installation and whether it silences no-flow warnings. It is aimed at pool owners and service technicians who need a direct replacement for Salt Models Number 520736 and compatible IC series cells. The biggest reason to buy is straightforward: it is a plug-in replacement with pre-stripped wires and waterproof connectors that usually restores normal operation in minutes without complicated tools.
Key Features
- Compatibility: Works with Salt Models Number 520736 and IC-20, IC-40, IC-60 and IC-15 cells so buyers get a direct replacement for the intended systems.
- Sensitive Detection: Red and blue lines detect water flow and the part addresses water flow faults to stop the persistent no-flow warning light.
- Pre-stripped Wiring: Wires arrive pre-stripped for quick connection, making installation faster for technicians and DIYers.
- Waterproof Connectors: Four button connectors provide waterproof, moisture-proof connections for reliable electrical contacts in a damp environment.
- Easy Installation Kit: The replacement kit includes a closed-end union cap, o-ring and coupling nut so the physical plumbing connection is complete when replacing the switch.
- Customer Care Guarantee: Two-year service coverage and a 60-day replacement window provide extra confidence after purchase.
Who It's For
This part is for pool owners, maintenance personnel, and service shops that need a like-for-like replacement for a faulty flow switch on an IC series salt chlorinator. It suits those who want to stop a false no-flow alarm quickly and who prefer a kit with plumbing pieces and waterproof connectors included.
Those who should look elsewhere include buyers needing a universal flow sensor for an unrelated pump type or systems outside the listed IC series. Also, if long-term durability under heavy use is the main concern, consider comparing construction details or higher-grade industrial sensors elsewhere since some users reported durability concerns.
