3 port valve

Hi, some advice please, once again I need to change my TOWER VAL 322 MP Actuator. This seems to be a regular thing with TOWER always just after the warranty runs out. Can anyone recommend a more reliable one I can fit. Thanks

Honeywell are generally seen as being robust and reliable.

Cheers stem, I was leaning that way, would you or anyone know if I could just replace the Actuator, if so which Honeywell model to use. Thanks again stem.

Do you know what is broken? If it's the motor, you can just replace the motor

Hi muggles, It's the Actuator once again, if I use Tower again it will be about the 4th or 5th one so I think its time to change. Thanks

I realise it's the actuator, but it is the motor inside the actuator, or the microswitch/circuitry inside the actuator? If it's the motor, it's about £7 to get a new one

Thanks muggles, not sure but the manual lever can be pulled across but it wont return, plus when the heating has been on then the water comes on with a bang and the hot water will not go off even with it off at the programmer and the stat.

The actuators are not interchangeable across different manufacturers products. You will have to change the whole valve.

Hi stem, thought that would be the case. I have done this in the past. I used 2 rubber bungs to save draining down, 1 in each tank outlet then replaced the whole thing, a bit of a hairy way to do it but it worked. Thanks again.
