High-sensitivity potable water flow switch features a G1/4'' female threaded connection for easy installation. With a minimum activation flow rate of ≥1L/min and a shut-off flow range of 0.8–1L/min, it responds in just 0.2 seconds to rapidly detect water flow changes, enabling precise start/stop control. The switch offers a normally open (NO) design, compatible with electrical environments of DC < 100V and AC < 110V at 0.5A, with a power rating of 10W. Suitable for water temperatures of 5–60°C and humidity < 85%, it is widely used in water purifiers, water dispensers, and water treatment equipment.
When dealing with slightly higher currents, such as those from load pumps, alarms, contactors, and solenoid valves, a small relay must be used in conjunction.
Note: When the power exceeds the relay's load capacity, additional contactors must be added. Refer to the wiring diagram above.
A potable water flow switch is a control component used to detect water flow within pipes. It is widely applied in water purifiers, direct-drinking machines, water heaters, and commercial drinking water equipment. When water flow reaches a preset value, the switch closes or opens, thereby controlling the start/stop of pumps, solenoid valves, or heating systems.
Potable water flow switches typically employ paddle-wheel or magnetic induction mechanisms. When water flow drives the internal blades or rotor to rotate, magnetic components trigger Hall effect sensors or mechanical contacts, outputting a switch signal. Upon flow cessation or dropping below the set value, the switch resets to its original state, enabling automatic control.
When selecting a potable water flow switch, prioritize flow range, connection size, operating pressure, voltage/current specifications, and installation orientation. Additionally, verify compliance with potable water hygiene standards and match the device's control mode (normally open or normally closed). For household water purification systems, choose models with low activation flow, stable pressure resistance, and responsive performance to ensure long-term reliable operation.
