Pressure switch / Flow switch

Hi Guys

I'm planning a new PC project again and this time i've decided to watercool, the only thing is I want some added protection so im trying to track down a suitable switch (pressure switch or flow switch will do) that i can fit inline in the water ciruit, i've googled and looked around a lot of water cooling shops to no avail, anyone sen anything similar?

i think he wants it to power off if the water pressure drops due to a leak or a clog or even pump failure


to the OP i have no clue where to find one but if you test it before applying power to the whole system you should be okay and not have to worry about leaks... you can get a flow meter so you can visually tell if you have a clog or a pump failure

Yes, Backithink, exactly what im trying to achieve, i did find some flow switches somewhere once that had a 3 pin fan connector on them and gave a reading for the cpu fan to shutdown the system if there was low/no flow but cant remember where i saw them and it was ages ago
