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.

There are plenty of companies that make flow switches, but I'm not sure you can find something in a consumer price range. Try a local plumbing supply or two to get an idea what's available and how much they cost.

A quick search on google for "Cheap liquid flow switch" came up with this:

CLEAR PVC is available. If the line is accesible you can just look and see the water flowing!

I used some 3 inch to build kids games, where ping pong balls float in water in the tube.

Clear is Great though I'm looking for a Switch that I can hook up to the Pump Controller. I want to be sure that if I turn the Pump on, that there is flow. If not turn the Pump off and then have it send a message to my phone that there is an issue with the Pump.
