Glowworm flexicom 24

[buckley plumb]

I hate flexicoms just been to this its leaking from the hydroblock or diverter area. Can't tell if it's hydroblock or diverter. Heating pressure drops. Wiped dry and increased pressure to 2.5 bar to see if I can see leak but just seems to run from area near diverter.but not clear if it's from which

The diverters normally leak from the spindle, so if it's at the back where it meets the block (support) 9/10 it's the support as it's the dearer and the most awkward of the two to replace..... After a while the plastic starts to fail I've changed bloody hundreds

Seen them fail on left cold water side but not on right before.

Could be just the rubber seals between div and block.

Landlord that won't pay if not fixed first time so I now quote for worst. Heard a plumber in merchants today call them ringworms

Quote for the hydro block then, as said make sure the diverter isn't leaking out of the front of it. I'd order a new tube and flow link (black rubber with jubilees) on left side if it has one. Change it at same time as block if it's got the old clips.
