I'm looking to see if there is flow in the line of a 1 1/4" and 1 1/2" PVC
pipe. I'd like to check to be sure that if a pump is running that there is
Flow in the pipe. So the flow will be more than just a simple faucet on.
Any Recommendations?
Thanks,
Scott<-

Thanks for the Link. Though for my home project I think its a bit much.
Having the Flow rate would be super if it was under $100, I need at least 3
of them.
Seems like there are many out there that give you the actual GPM, though I
just need a is there or is there not flow. Just a simple contact.
Thanks,

Delete cross-post to you know who...
You might insert a TEE in the line with a stub sticking up.
Implant 2 stainless wires in the stub and use an electronic circuit
to detect water between the 2 probes.
If the pressure won't be high enough to rise above the
pipe, just insert the probes into the horizontal run.
Plain water has enough conductivity to trip a
reasonably sensitive circuit without getting complicated.
A float switch might work too, depending on the flow/pressure
available.

Clear PVC check valves????:

You could get an old fire alarm bell that is water driven, but the
sound will be deafening. You could create an audible or light
generating indicator with a flow monitor like this:
