magnaclean ch filter

Aug 11, 2008 4 Replies

Hello,



Whilst browsing the old posts, I found some people recommending the magnaclean filter and others saying they were a waste of time and you should treat the cause not the symptom. What is the consensus now? Are they worth having? Are they just a magnet that the sludge sticks to? What is the bets price for one? Despite having Fernox inhibitor in my system, I did find some black in the water I drained when removing a radiator for decorating recently.



Thanks.


This is better:

On the CH return to the boiler fit this filter:

enough to buy.

grabs all the crud and magentite and protects the boilers heat exchangers.

The CORGI bloke installing my new boiler more or less insisted I had a Magnaclean. He knows his stuff & I've known him for years so I said go ahead.

If they are so essential, why aren't they already fitted to system boilers

- or supplied for use with others?

Alpha boilers have an integral cyclone filter on the return. They are not essential for makers as not having one may reduce the life of a boiler.
