Flow switches and pressure switches are essential accessories for domestic pumps, each serving distinct functions.
Flow switches
Flow switches detect the movement of water within a pipe. When water flows past the switch, it activates or deactivates the pump, ensuring efficient operation. The primary advantage of flow switches is their ability to prevent dry running, which can damage the pump. However, they can be sensitive to low flow rates and may require regular maintenance to avoid clogging.

Pressure switches
In contrast, pressure switches monitor the pressure levels within the system. They activate the pump when the pressure drops below a set point and shut it off when the desired pressure is reached, ensuring a consistent water supply. The main benefit of pressure switches is their reliability in maintaining pressure, but they can be less effective in systems with fluctuating flow rates.
