Recently I talked about why break instantaneous water heaters Atmor and how to fix them (ammo1.livejournal.com/1068192.html).
The reason is the magnetic float, loses its properties over time. The float can try to fix it, but you can just find a replacement.
Once I was able to make out the original float and put it in the new magnets heater to work, but there was problem: turning off the heating is not always when you turn off the water, but if you click on the body of his fingers off immediately It happened. Apparently rough mutilated float stuck in the tube. Of course, you could try to polish his bumps, but I thought it was easier to make a new float.
At first I wanted to make the float of the cap from the pen, but then I came across a jar of homeopathic Oscillococcinum means. The inner diameter of the can a little more than 8 mm and it perfectly fit eight millimeter neodymium magnet and is well fixed there. The experiments showed that one magnet is enough to confidently reed fire, but the weight of banks with the magnet is not enough - the float sinks not always. Then I added the weight per nut M4 (first was three, as in the photo, but the float has become too heavy and low-head heating is not included).
Magnet better seal and nut drop any elastic adhesive (e.g., torque).
I did not put in the pipes of the first part, which is very difficult to remove, and confined himself to a second.
Homemade float slightly thinner and longer than the original, but it works not worse.
Heater with a homemade float successfully worked for ten days until it was turned off the hot water.
Perhaps this is the first time in history, when Oscillococcinum has brought tangible benefits. :)
