What is the Fit Once™ Diverter Valve Repair Project?
Buycombi is the award-winning UK manufacturer of premium quality serviceable diverter valve repair kits. This project is all about providing a simple, permanent, and cost-effective solution for diverter valve issues. Instead of replacing the entire diverter valve when the working seals fail over time, the innovative Fit Once™ cartridge allows just the leaking internal cartridge to be replaced. The approach is designed to be low-cost, sustainable, and efficient. With the Fit Once™ concept, reactive maintenance is now a thing of the past… no more unnecessary repair call outs or wasted time on replace-everything solutions.
Main Benefits and Key Facts
The benefits of using the Fit Once™ cartridge lie not only in its simplicity but also in its cost-effectiveness and environmental sustainability. Some key figures and facts include:
- Premium quality with 100% positive feedback
- Permanent replacement: why purchase the whole unit when only the internal cartridge needs replacing?
- Simple to install: change the leaking cartridge in just 5 easy steps
- No drain down required – simply change the small seal canister at annual service intervals
- Award-winning innovation with the eBay Innovation Award
- Extended industry leading warranty: 36-month protection when purchased directly through the website
- Environmentally friendly: minimal plastic waste, no new inhibitor required, no water waste, and reduced air intake minimizes rust
Permanent Replacement for Long Life
The approach is straightforward… why purchase the whole diverter valve when it keeps failing? Instead, the concept focuses on replacing the leaking internal cartridge with the Fit Once™ serviceable cartridge. This technique is not only low cost but also a permanent solution that avoids frequent failures. The design is patented, ensuring that the life of the diverter valve is extended significantly. In addition, the need to drain the system water for repairs is eliminated, making the repair process both time-saving and efficient.
Simple Installation Process
The installation process is designed to be as seamless as possible, even for those who are not experts in valve repair. With bespoke tools and detailed instructions, the installation involves just five steps. First, remove the motor and drain the system if needed; second, unlock the old cartridge; third, extract the old cartridge; fourth, insert the new Fit Once™ cartridge; and finally, replace the motor and fill back the system. This step-by-step guide ensures that the installation is quick and user-friendly – a real DIY success story that anyone can follow.
Easy to Service and Maintain
Instead of facing the hassle of a complete valve overhaul, the bespoke design ensures that only the small seal canister needs to be replaced when necessary or at regular service intervals. This approach significantly reduces maintenance time and eliminates the need for a complete drain down of the boiler. The serviceability of the cartridge means long-term reliability and efficiency are maintained without the usual complications seen in traditional methods.
Award Winning Performance and Industry Leading Warranty
The Fit Once™ has already made a notable mark in the industry by winning the eBay Innovation Award, thanks to its advanced and sustainable design. Its reputation is bolstered by the fact that Buycombi offers an extended UK manufacturer’s warranty of 3 years on purchases made directly from the website – a benefit not offered by any other manufacturer. This warranty and the accompanying full support, including detailed fitting instructions and supporting videos, underline the commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.
