Magna Booster - Do I need One??
In article o.uk,
Dave Liquorice wrote: Every few weeks this would clog up with something the consistency of grease. In the end I took it out and replaced it with a Magnaclean which doesn't obstruct the flow as it collects stuff. But still requires cleaning every few weeks of the "grease" or isn't it trapping that? The "grease" is probably bacteria. Not overly convinced that any iron corrsion products are magnetic either. Wonder how much 'iron' there is in a modern central heating system? But in any case, inhibitor prevents that corroding. Dribble probably doesn't get any commission from sales of that. Or it's not as 'sexy' a product... -- *If only you'd use your powers for good instead of evil. Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |

Copper tube and steel radiators have remained pretty much unchanged. Low water capacity boilers were around in the 1960s. Some aluminium heat exchanger are around, but most now are going to stainless steel spiralled tubed. Impurities in the system can be baked on the insides of these tubes, reducing efficiency. I have seen some totally blocked because the system was not cleaned or protected. That is why it is important that a Magna Boost is fitted, protecting the boiler's heat exchanger. In the long run it protects the boiler and reduces gas consumption. It also protects the pump as well as the rads, catching the harmful magentite. |

Does an inhibited system generate enough sludge to warrant a magnetic trap? Is the Magna booster a reasonable trap? (seems likely enough, although massively over-priced) Is BG installation fee reasonable? (seems equally massive, IMHO). I put a Magnaclean on my mum's CH - when I swapped the boiler I spent a long time flushing the system through, and I then followed the Keston advice to add a Y-strainer. Every few weeks this would clog up with something the consistency of grease. In the end I took it out and replaced it with a Magnaclean which doesn't obstruct the flow as it collects stuff. Yes, I know that this shouldn't be necessary in a perfectly sealed system, but in this case some of the under-floor pipework dates back to the 1960s, compression jointed. There's no major leak - system needs a top-up every few months. Ideally the pipework should be all replaced and the system zoned, but with laminate and vinyl floors the disruption would be horrendous. Have you tried putting leak sealer in? It can bung up small weeps. |

No reason why both statements cannot be true of course. I find it very amusing when he changes the "From" line in his posts obviously considering this will make his posts untraceable. He's such a dumbarse that he doesn't realise how people can spot that he is the author of the drivel he posts. |

That is a good method. But. When the water comes out clean, turn down the rad valve. This makes the water run through the rad at a higher pressure and just along the bottom section, shorting out from valve to valve. It is like pinching the end of hose and the water goes further. It then gets the sludge collected at the bottom. That stuff could have still have been inside the rads at the bottom. |
