Title: magma heater repairs.
Post by: Keith Durkin on February 17, 2015, 11:04:50 am

Hi all,
         I have a Magma inline heater which has developed a slow leak from the brass fitting that is threaded onto the heater. Is there anyone in the Northants. area who can  to carry out the repairs.

It probably just needs unscrewing and some new thread tape applied to the thread and re-tightening.

Would only cost you a tenner to send back to Cleansmart

Thanks for your replies,
                                    I have recently discussed the issue with Cleansmart, unfortunately it ran out of warranty last month :'( , but I  will be sending it up to them next week.

Same on mine. I rung to ask for advice and tbh I found who ever answered the phone at cleansmart quite rude. He wasn't interested in discussing it he just said I have to send it in. Not great customer service, might have just been a bad day but I wouldn't expect that from a supplier.

Be carefull unscrewing it, check to see if the thread has a locking nut on the outside, if it's on too tight it will just turn the thread inside causing damage.

You might need to open it up and hold it with a spanner from the inside as you unscrew the QC.

If its leaking  at the quick connect then easy fix make sure you don't let the spigot turn  if its leaking at the connection inside the casing then it will probably be knackered that's where mine went after 3 years
