Screwfix have this unit, part number 1436f. We have one fitted on our boiler, not fitted by us, was there when we bought the house. The reviews are mixed but I can say our hot taps & shower heads are clear of limescale. I will probably renew at sometime as its will be like 4 like. We live in...

The above shows the 3 controls. Use the Tap controller to adjust the hot water temp

Google your Wilo gold rs60, you will find information regarding

One more thing I should have said, run a magnet down the fill/expansion pipe at the tee connection as an extra check for possible blockage down from the F&E tank just in case your pump / system is short of water, don’t think it should be but it takes only a couple of mins so worth doing. Good luck

Water crystal clear, new boiler, F&E tank ok but air in pump…. could be connections allowing air to be pulled in to pump, could be the normal sound as be boiler fires as kettling is very obvious sound, a type of banging coming from the boiler. Still could add the noise reducing inhibitor, takes...

How did the water look when you bleed all the air bleeds including the rads? Have you checked the water level in the F& E tank? Is this tank water looking clean. Consider adding an inhibitor for the kettling ( Noise )

First thing to do is to vent the pump and you can also see if the shaft turns. Simple , remove the big silver plug with a large screwdriver. Have a bit of paper etc to hand to catch the water that should then come out.

Ok, so above the isolation valve I can see the thread plastic pipe from the inlet fill that has some ptfe tape showing. Once the nut that tightens onto this plastic pipe thread starts to fail, it’s time to have it removed and a Brass inlet threaded unit fitted. Simple job and once done…it’s...

So we inherited the Flomasta as fitted to our system. If you google remarks you will see the reason for it being half the price of others. It’s sold only by Screwfix, that’s my understanding, and it’s a hard plastic. The design has changed and now the inlet/Outlet ports are not off set, not a...

Is it practical/ possible to take one off and back flush it, will give you an idea if it’s and others are still part blocked. *just seen, all new rads

It’s the off set one. Now after more reading, I’m wondering if it might be the internal O ring letting by that acts as the lid seal.

The lid on our Flomasta magnetic filter must have a very small crack as there is now water on the lid. Reading other people experience of this filter also having the same problem. So, I would like to remove it and replace it with a different filter but there is very little room to make any...

Nice update and link to the new part. All I would add is, if possible, fit the inlet fill valve that has the brass thread, will cost a bit more but worth it. As a side note, mine was doing the same. I also renewed the same part ( service kit you listed above ) and then removed the the black...

Only if you want a flooded floor at sometime
