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:

Cheap enough to buy.

It 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.
