DAB A55/130

[dabbleabit]

HI,
Have been reading problems with the dab a55/130 central heating pump, after not being used during the summer months?.
I have the same problem nearly every winter, I simply remove the bleeb screw from the pump body insert a screw driver into the pump rotate the impeller a few times and bingo i'm okay for the rest of thje winter. only this time the bleed screw is ceased
up? I cant unscrew it from the pump body? also not sure which way to turn the screw is it clockwise or anticlockwise, would appreciate someone to tell me from the forum,
Thanks

anticlockwise

turn what screw Declan?

the first screw is the impeller cover/bleed screw

the bit you are spinning is the end of the motor shaft attached to the impeller

periods of inactivity can let impeller settle on wear ring face and because
motor has a low impeddance it wont spin shaft

replace with grundfoss equivelant or keep spinning every 3 months

If only everyone ran their heating for just five minutes every week then pumps would not seize up !

We would have less calls every September/October then!
