I had to pull the Solis SL90 apart to replace the boiler (after 6 months of it sitting on the workshop bench in pieces. Not the fault of Diamond C services - they got the parts to me in a couple of days - it took six months for me to order them after getting the pricing from Simon at Diamond-C :-[. )
However, I made the mistake of loosening the grubscrew on the cam that operates the microswitch to turn on the "turbine" (water pump, not pressure pump).
It appears I now have it correctly set but Im not sure.
Id appreciate it if another Solis owner could check the operation of their switch for me.
Put a container under the steam wand and rotate the knob (unit powered up but cold) and compare it to mine.
Mine:
A 1/4 turn open turns on the water pump and water comes out of the wand.
Turn another 1/4 turn turns off the water pump and, if hot, would only allow steam to flow.
(Im too embarrassed to ask Diamond-C for help.
:-[ )
Thanks in advance.
