Thanks, you=E2=80=99re a star!

Googled for them and found they are called a =E2=80=9Cpaddle flow
switch=E2=
=80=9D, eBay has loads of units that do exactly what I=E2=80=99m looking
fo=
r at =C2=A310-=C2=A320 (from China, but I=E2=80=99m not in a rush).

Hi Jim,
=20
Something like this might do the trick?
http://www.distech-controls.com/en/ca/products/field-devices/fs-fluid-sensi=
ng/related-products/vane-flow-switches/
=20
Not sure about price, however.
=20
HTH,
Tim.

Pipe is 1.5=E2=80=9D, flow rate up to 120L/min (it=E2=80=99s being used on

a pond filtering system).

What I=E2=80=99m after is a simple sensor that has an output that

flow or not.
=20
Plenty of actual sensors around (but tend to be 15/22mm) and yes, I could

wond=

Anyone come across such an item?
