It confirms that water is actually moving through the plumbing before the controller reads pH and ORP or doses chemicals, so the system only operates when circulation is adequate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the low flow version. Use it when the standard IntelliChem flow switch has trouble registering flow, or when an external flow switch mounts better in your plumbing layout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Pentair OEM part, number 522623Z\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExternal flow switch kit with a 3 foot cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt for low flow applications where the standard flow switch may not register flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks with IntelliChem chemical controllers in both residential and commercial installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps prevent chemical dosing when circulation is insufficient\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Pentair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer part number: 522623Z\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCable length: 3 ft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: External flow switch kit, low flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatibility: Pentair IntelliChem chemical controllers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: New, original manufacturer packaging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat is the Pentair 522623Z?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is an external flow switch kit for Pentair IntelliChem chemical controllers, supplied with a 3 foot cable. It is the low flow version of the flow switch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat does the flow switch do on an IntelliChem?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt tells the controller whether water is moving. The IntelliChem uses that signal to decide whether it is safe to read water chemistry and feed chemicals. Without a flow signal, the controller holds off on dosing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow is this different from the standard IntelliChem flow switch?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis version is built for low flow conditions. If your standard flow switch fails to register flow on a low flow or variable speed setup, this is the part Pentair offers for that situation. It also mounts externally, which helps when the internal switch location does not suit the plumbing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWill this work with my IntelliChem controller?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is designed for Pentair IntelliChem chemical controllers, residential and commercial. Check your controller model and your existing flow switch connection against the IntelliChem manual before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow long is the cable?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3 feet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIs this a genuine Pentair part?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. This is Pentair part number 522623Z, sold by AppaeTech Pool Supply as an authorized Pentair reseller.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat are the signs of a failed flow switch?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most common symptom is an IntelliChem that reports no flow and will not dose while the pump is clearly running. A pool professional can confirm whether the switch, the wiring, or actual low circulation is the cause.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I install this myself?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany pool owners handle this replacement themselves. Follow the IntelliChem installation instructions, cut power to the equipment before working on it, and use a licensed pool professional if you are not comfortable with the wiring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes it ship new?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
