Opti-Flow: Reliable Flow Detection That Protects Your Pumps

Running a pump without flow can destroy equipment in minutes, often resulting in repairs or replacements that cost tens of thousands of dollars. Yet many systems still rely on fragile limit switches to infer flow from a check valve arm. Opti-Flow offers a smarter, more reliable solution.

Why Limit Switches Fall Short

Traditional limit switches use a small mechanical button that the valve arm physically clicks. These inexpensive components break frequently, especially when valve arms drop hard as pumps shut off. When they fail, pumps may continue running with no flow, putting critical equipment at risk.

A More Durable Approach

Opti-Flow mounts directly to the check valve arm using an adjustable bracket and senses arm movement and angle using the same mechanism as Opti-Float! With the power of light, it eliminates any contact that can be smashed or wear out. The result is dependable confirmation of positive flow without fragile electronics or click points.

Key Benefits

  • Positive flow confirmation to keep pumps running safely

  • Automatic shutdown or alarms when the flow is lost

  • Low-maintenance design built for real-world conditions

  • Ideal as primary or backup protection alongside existing sensors

  • Compatible with any control panel and easy to retrofit

Built to Keep Working

Opti-Flow replaces unreliable limit switches with a simple, durable solution that improves safety, reduces maintenance, and protects high-value pumps from dry-run damage.

When flow detection matters, Opti-Flow delivers confidence you can trust.
