Flowmeter (Flow Detector) Saunier Duval Themafast F 24 E - Ref. S5720200
If no hot water comes out when you open the tap, you may need a flow meter (flow detector) Saunier Duval Themafast F 24 E. This part is responsible for detecting the flow of water and activating the ignition to produce domestic hot water. When it fails, the boiler does not generate hot water even though the tap is open. It is compatible with several models, including Themafast C24E, Themafast C25E, and Thema Nox F25. It should be replaced when these symptoms of lack of hot water occur.

How to check if ref. S5720200 is the part for your boiler
What determines it is not the boiler model, but the reference printed on the part you already have installed.
- Find the reference printed on the installed part and check whether it matches the catalogue reference S5720200. If it is not visible, do not identify the part from its shape alone.
- Check the full boiler model on its data plate and look for it in the model associations on this page.
- Compare the connections and physical body with the original part before installation.
- If anything is unclear, send us a photo of the marking via WhatsApp before placing your order.
Symptoms and faults that the flow meter S5720200 resolves.
The flow meter detects the passage of water to activate the domestic hot water. These are the typical symptoms and what to do:
Common symptoms and faults
- 01
The hot water flow is interrupted several times while you are showering.
Cause: The detector turbine gets stuck due to limescale, causing an intermittent water flow signal.
Open and close the tap forcefully two or three times to see if the turbine releases before changing the part.
- 02
When opening the hot water tap, the boiler shows a flow warning and the burner does not ignite.
Cause: The turbine does not spin enough to generate the minimum signal required by the control board.
Check the filter before the water inlet: if it is dirty, it restricts the flow and triggers the warning without the detector being faulty.
- 03
In heating mode, it works well, but when opening any hot water tap, the boiler does not start.
Cause: Without a signal from the flow detector, the PCB does not recognize that there is a demand for domestic hot water (DHW).
Open the tap to maximum flow for a few seconds; if it still doesn't start, first check the sensor.
- 04
Sometimes the boiler turns on by itself in domestic hot water mode without anyone having opened a tap.
Cause: The detector continues to indicate flow even though there is none, due to wear on the turbine or the internal magnet.
Close all the hot water taps in the house and check if the startup continues before assuming it is the sensor.
These symptoms can have more than one cause. If your boiler displays a fault code, send it to us via WhatsApp along with a photo of the labeling, and we'll tell you if this is the part.
