I reckon a Magnaclean is not a bad investment. Apart from collecting
magnetite, they provide a quick and easy way to add inhibitor.

In principle yup. I prefer the Fernox TF1, since it appears to have a
better cyclonic action for catching the non magnetic particulates in
addition to the magnet for the magnetite.


The magnet is useful, but get one with a filter, that bit catches far more than the magnet

I have not seen any with a traditional filter as such - only magnetic
and cyclonic collection. Which one were you thinking of?

Zeetec

As in:

http://www.zeetec.org/boiler-filter/

Looks interesting - would be interesting to know how it compares in
performance from say:

https://www.fernox.com/filters/tf1-total-filter

(Which uses a cyclonic action to collect the non mag particles but has
no mesh filter).

The Fernox is for a vertical pipe with /upward/ flow

No, it can be used in either horizontal or vertical and with flow in
either direction. However it comes set for upward flow by default, but
you can change it by rotating the collar prior to fixing.

- surely it would be
better in the Return pipe, so as to cut the crud before the boiler.

Since most boilers are wall mounted and piped from below, the return
probably will be flowing up in more cases than the other alternatives.

Most of
the prticles are from the rads. and not wanted in the boiler.
I couln't fit one of these on my system

Yes you could.

See the instructions on the bottom of page 2:
