A method of implementing a substitute for a pump-off controller in a production string comprising: locating a pump between a reservoir and a bypass valve, the pump for pumping a reservoir product through the valve; the valve transitioning to a bypass mode in response to a drop in flow through the valve indicating damaging pump operating conditions; in the bypass mode, the valve interrupting the flow of the reservoir product through the valve; and in the bypass mode, a bypass flow conduit conducting a bypass flow from the valve to the reservoir. |
