Has anyone any experience of these, or know how they might differ from
traditional air separators, or the spirovent air separators that BES
stock?

The tadpole is £195, which seems excessive!

Absolute snake oil. It is not small. it won't address the real causes of
any symptoms. Many of the symptoms it claims to reduce are unlikely to
be cured by this. In other cases it might mask the problems until a more
serious symptom emerges.

The device is ridiculously expensive for what it is, it preys on people
who are understandably reluctant to have their ailing heating system dealt
with by a competent profiessional albeit with a moderate amount of
disruption.

For the same money you can employ a heating engineer to diagnose the real
problem and suggest a cure, possibly even actually cure the problems.
