Hello

Can anyone advise me on the combimate I have fitted. It has the Mains water into the inlet and then outlet straight to boiler. It’s leaking underneath. Does the housing come off ? Will it be easier to just replace it ? Do I even need it ?

Thanks

I thought Combi Mate is no longer manufactured. AND as its a 'mate' its not mine just in case anybody wants to know.
Top Up Mate, CondenserMate, and Flood Check Mate are part
of my generic portfolio We have Fence Mate as well.

It’s most likely the main O ring, leaking.
Order a replacement set of genuine balls and included will be a new O ring.
Press both red buttons simultaneously and the cover pulls off (automatically isolating the supply) unscrew red filler plug on top. Then unscrew large retaining ring, empty contents, replace O ring and tighten up retaining ring. Finally add new balls via filler plug hole. Replace plug and cover
