Warmflow 70/90 Combi

Billy Bunting

I have a Warmflow 70/90 Combi oil burner with frost damage, i need a flow switch (part number 1476), been onto Warmflow and they wont supply me, "only supply their retailers":rolleyes:, anyway, what i need to know is is this flow switch the same as the flow switch used on Grant Combi's ??

Sparkpea

I trade out of a wholesalers that is owned by warmflow, getting a part shouldn't be any bother if u want me to enquire and post it down.

Had l ring for a few prices for rads there, fella tells me the part is easy to get and thinks it might be about £37+vat but will get back to me, sound right?

Sooper!!! Do they take telephone orders via visa ??

Warmflow gave me their suppliers here but non of them now use Warmflow, they even told me to order it via gas and oil parts but not even their head office in Athlone would order it, "dont deal with them anymore", wont be using them again myself if their service department can't be bothered with after sale service. :mad:

their service department are hooks, when you phone up with a problem (even warranty related) they first of all ask for your credit card details, incase the faulty is due to a bad install then they can bill you. All our local plumbers are raged about it and even the wholesalers have told them to catch a grip.

New price came back at £45+vat +shipping - they don't ship etc but if you wanted I'd get you it and send it down if you have a paypal account or want to bacs the money across up to you, or try that grant part.

I think the flow switch are the same as the Grant ones too, can get them posted via payment through your wholesaler , very handy, and make sure the arrow is the right way too:D

Checked out a Grant Vortex today and it looked totally different.

Many thanks to Sparkpea for going to the trouble of purchasing this for me at his local supplier, true Gentleman.
