Key Features to Look For

Malictele excels in these areas, offering sensors that trigger reliably between 3-15 GPM, ideal for most residential pools.
Comparing Malictele Models
This category features two GLX-FLO-RP variants tailored for Hayward systems. The standard Pool Flow Sensor delivers essential flow monitoring with a 15ft cable, perfect for basic chlorine generator setups. In contrast, the Metal Pool Flow Sensor adds a rugged metal body for enhanced protection against impacts and wear, making it suitable for commercial or high-traffic pools.
Choose the standard model if you're on a budget and have a calm residential environment. Opt for the metal version for superior longevity in demanding conditions. Both share the same electrical specs and mounting points, allowing easy swaps. Compared to pricier OEM parts, Malictele provides comparable performance at a fraction of the cost, without sacrificing reliability.

Malictele Flow Switches shine in pool maintenance scenarios:
- Salt Chlorinator Systems: Detects flow to enable/disable chlorine production safely.
- Automation Panels: Integrates with Hayward AquaRite controls for automated pool management.
- Retrofits and Repairs: Replaces failed OEM sensors quickly.
