US source for new gear pump magnet for ACS Vesuvius

Ansgar

Hello everyone,

A while ago, I purchased a used ACS Vesuvius from 2016. Unfortunately, I’m experiencing some issues similar to other users who have reported that the brewing pressure is not reaching the desired level (mine only reaches around 7 bar) despite being set to 9.5 bar.

I was wondering if anyone could lend me a hand in finding a new magnet for my gear pump in the United States, specifically in New York? It seems that this is a common problem for these machines.

Thanks Ansgar

Ansgar It is a common problem for the very early machines as a high % of the magnets were not potted (sealed properly) and corroded due to air getting to the magnet which made them lose magnetism. I think Chris coffee stocks them and you might find they won’t charge for the magnet, just shipping as the pump manufacturer usually gives them a free magnet.

The bad batch couldn’t be identified, but they found the problem fairly quickly and solved it.
