The pumps stopped working, the only reason that I changed.I don't know how much the price difference is between the new and the old, but if you could manage with the old why change?

Don't change the tap keep the original, what damage have you done?
PM me, how old is your control box? I'm looking at possible compatibility issues. The temperature probe has a different plug and needs changing with the new box, so a new silicon seal will be required otherwise, mine just plugged in.I happen to be in the market for the new controller and have a perfectly good old controller, so may be a swap is in order (plus cash). How much cash do you want on top of the swap?
Please dont be it will cost you $$, with my old engineering hat on (retired and loving it) opening and cleaning the pump imo is essential after every brew - the balance holes in the impeller must be kept clean these are hydraulic balance holes (not dynamic) they allow the impeller to float in the mag drive pump if there're clogged the impeller will rub at the rear, wear out quickly reduce the pumps (limited) efficiency and importantly reduce your brewing efficiency / taste...... its easy to do, flip the machine after cleaning to dry, spin off the motor, simples. I filter, to start its a pita, then its just habit! easy.....Okay, I am slack
The nylon insert has been dislodgedPushing a hose onto the tap, the nozzle went up. Push it back down but tap not working now. Will have a good look at it over weekend, post pictures if I can't fix.
Would this be a suitable replacement?The nylon insert has been dislodged
remove the tap and look into the delivery end to see if the holes line up
Crap, I was refering to the O rings replacement. Never thought the Nylon sleve would shift, but I'd imagine it'd be a ball ache trying to move back into place.

The nylon insert in mine shifted and the flow became little more than a trickle. It was a real pain in the arse when it happened.
Motivated me to change to a 3 piece ball valve, haven't looked back.
Has anyone upgraded their older 50 l control box and still have their old control box in working order? I am interested in replacing my new and upgraded replacement. It has too many bells and whistles for me, and it the face gets fogged up.
Otherwise, I will have to get my old box repaired, the pumps switch gave up the ghost.
