Our Expert's Opinion
"Designed to accurately detect water flow through the boiler, ensuring correct system operation and safe activation of heating or hot water."Ideal 175979 Flow Sensor Kit
The Ideal 175979 Flow Sensor Kit is a manufacturer replacement part used in compatible Ideal boiler models to monitor the rate of water movement through the system. The flow sensor plays a critical role in signalling the boiler’s control electronics when there is sufficient water flow to safely initiate a heating or hot water demand. When a tap is opened or central heating is activated, the flow sensor detects the increase in water movement and sends an electrical signal to the control board, prompting ignition, pump activation, and valve positioning in the correct sequence.
Constructed to the boiler maker’s exact specifications, this kit includes the flow sensor itself along with any associated seals, connectors, or mounting hardware necessary to integrate it properly into the system. Because it constantly interacts with pressurised water and temperature changes, the sensor and its components are built to withstand moisture, heat cycles, and pressure fluctuations without losing accuracy or becoming blocked.
Over time, flow sensors can become restricted by debris, corrosion, or limescale, or their internal electronics may deteriorate, leading to symptoms such as failure to detect flow, delayed ignition, boiler lockouts, or inconsistent hot water delivery. Replacing a worn or malfunctioning flow sensor with the genuine Ideal 175979 Flow Sensor Kit restores accurate flow detection, supports smooth system responsiveness, and helps maintain safe, efficient boiler performance for daily heating and hot water needs.
