      Have you tried troubleshooting the flow sensor? A good way to see if your flow sensor is faulty is to remove it from its port, pinch the paddle and probe together, then set your chlorinator to 100-percent output. If the control is still flashing a “No Flow” fault, your GLX-FLO-RP AquaRite flow sensor is bad.

      If the salt system does turn on after pinching the paddles, you may need to clean your filter, pump, and skimmer baskets.
