What does the flow sensor really do? Is it useful only when there is a busted pipe and it tells the system to shutdown?

It does not detect a bursted pipe. It is a sensor for a salt swimming pool system to active the generation of chlorine from salt

if your pump fails to start or gets clogged or runs to slow or..... If your salt chlorinator continues to run it could burn out.

Prevents build up of chlorine gas in piping if pump is not running or discharge is clogged, by sending a disable signal to chlorine generator.

Yes, the timer will work even if fluids are absent. It automatically shuts off whether a flow is present or not.

I don't think this is correct product for you. It is made to detect the location of small leaks. You already know the source/location of your "leak". It is not an alarm but a diagnostic tool.

No, all this does is shut off incoming water from the faucet. If draining and the drain is clogged, there will be water on the floor. To faciliate this, another type of sensor will be needed.

Yes and no. When the tank runs out of water, a switch that floats sinks and turns off the ultrasonic transducer (the dime-sized disk inside). The front control and blower remain on. The floater is much better than sensors that sit in the water and need cleaning.

This photo sensor will provide the signal when the light beam is broken, but that is all. I presume you'd need the siren and some sort of controller. I don't know what that controller might be, but this sensor is often connected to a gate operator controller or an alarm system controller, or that sort of thing. By the way, I have this sensor on a gate entrance to our property and it works great to prevent the gate from closing when the light beam is broken.

I am almost certain the answer is "no". It turns valves on and off, and has no way of sensing water pressure, etc.

I test it occasionally by dipping the sensor/lead in water. The alarm sounds. I remove the sensor/lead from the water after a short time, and the alarm silences within a few additional seconds. It seems as if the sensor/lead is rather hydrophobic, so it rapidly ceases signaling when the water is no longer in contact with the sensor. I like that feature.

When either of the auto sensors is activated the flow is full on or off. When the handle is used, the flow is fully adjustable for flow & temp. It works very well. Both my wife and I are glad we made the decision to spend the extra $$$$. Also I strongly recommend buying the plug-in adapter. The faucet has been in use for almost a year now with no problems.

there is no ajustment.Just turns on to keep pipe from freezing, We have had one for years.

I donot think a failure sensor will disable the system. The alarm will sound if the sensor is triggered before its destroyed

By hooking up the drain hose to the rear of the unit you enable the continuous flow function to work- there is a float inside the reservoir that will make the unit stop when it is full of water (kind of like how the float in the back of your toilet works!) by hooking up the hose you subsequently bypass the float from ever sensing the unfit is full.

If the flow switch is not indicating water flow, the chlorinator should shut down to prevent its damage if there really is no water flowing to it.

The unit has a pilot light and thermocouple. If the gas supply is interrupted, the pilot light will go out, which will inhibit the gas flow.

I believe it monitors the current consumption of the pump. When the pump isn't pumping water, the current is reduced. There's also some timers, the timer duration adapts over time based on the current consumption.

I have left the faucet on in the past but try not to. I know how damage a burst hose could cause. My suggestion is to not leave the supply hose pressurised (faucet on) whenever possible.

I use this sensor for that. I have it just below the lip of the basin. So far, I haven't had any overflows, but also no false alarms either. I think you want to be able to place the sensor in a position that will not get wet when you use the basin for other things or any splashing from the drain will get it wet.
