Apologies for any terminology used that doesn't make sense to any plumbers here - not sure on part names etc. so please correct me as I'm always keen to learn and understand 👍
Moved into a property about 3 years ago and water UFH already installed (JG Speedfit One Room).
Been working fine and then stopped shortly before Christmas 2019.
Power, hot water valve and thermostat appear to be working. Had a work colleagues brother come round to help (a couple of years into plumbing). He replaced the pump for a new one (as assumed dead) and it still didn't power on the pump when everything was on and thermostat cranked up.
Plumber checked power and all was fine down until you get to the little white box (see image with red circle) which appears to connect to the hot water feed. Plumber bypassed this to check and when bypassed the pump came on and started working. He has left this bypassed for now but stressed that it can't be left like that as there wouldn't be any control now. So in order to stop the pump I need to power off the UFH completely (which is a simple wall switch).
As this is part of a kit do I need to replace the entire kit or can you buy that specific part to replace? Is it even something you can replace?
I really appreciate any advice/tips - just trying to manage my expectations and cost.
Thanks all.
