We have a wet system that is having problems with the flow switch.  The flow 
switch would send a signal and then stop and then send another signal.  This 
would be happening intermittently.  We figured the flow switch diaphram was bad 
and then replaced the flow switch with the same results.  The main drain test 
is 60 psi with 50 psi residual.  The inspector's test was a globe valve that 
would flow water intermittantly; so we changed it to a ball valve.  It flows 
water continuously now with the same problem with the flow switch.  We checked 
the vane on the flow switch and the pipe is clean, so it's not hanging up at 
the riser.  Any suggestions?
