The main question is - Is there a risk of current or 110v voltage flowing back to, and destroying delicate components? Here is the setup. I want to convert a chlorine pool to a salt pool. I need to wire the chlorinator in a way that it stops running, should the motor stop running (I've to take this into consideration as this has happened before.) Pool starts running say 8pm, it's turned on by a Sonoff wifi switch 1, (wired to a 110v relay that turns on the motor.) Sonoff 1 is timed to start pool running at 8pm, followed by Sonoff 2 (this shuts off within 5 minutes of => .) motor starting to run, water flow closes flow switch, after timed delay voltage from Sonoff 1 is now pathed to Chlorinator, which starts running and current proceeds to join the line from Sonoff 2 to the motor. Question 1- Is there any chance of this current flowing backwards towards Sonoff 2 on the output side? If that is so then I see that unit getting fried. What can I do to prevent this? (Sonoff 2 shuts off after timed shut off, allowing flow switch to shut off pool if there's no water flow. Question 2- When the two Sonoffs start and chlorinator is waiting say a 5 minute timed delay before it turns on is there a risk that voltage will flow towards chlorinator and start it, bypasing flow switch? This may not be ok as chlorinator runs on 110v anyways. [img]https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.doityourselft.com-vbulletin/x505/image19_409fed7fae5ac9fa0d8dbadbb826e389e24.jpg[/img]

Read MoreI too have a Neptune T10 5/8" Model. I began having VERY HIGH readings when they replaced our meter approximately 6 months ago - claiming they were having troubles with reading from the truck. Our Monthly bill had been $42-$48 for 18+ years. After installing this Model, our bill jumped to $140-$180 /month. They have replaced the meter but still indicating our water usage is 120,000-160,000 gallons/month and that we have a leak. IMO with that much water leaking we'd have a lake on our property. Compounding the problem is that the per gal rate increased the more water you are "using". I have had a Plumber/Handyman here and he/we cannot find any sign of a leak. I have tried one of the "tests" in another reply... filled a 2 gal bucket 3 times... Meter indicated that I had used 9.5 Gallons. All toilets have had "tank guts" replaced - NONE are running, hot water heaters are relatively new, in the middle of this have bought a HE Washer and Dishwasher... Getting very frustrated... wondering if the meter is defective or ??? By coincidence they had read the meter 2x in 2 days - in less than a 8 hour time span and it showed we had used 7,000 gallons over night. We do not have a sprinkler system and I am the only person here. Any ideas???
