Additional system filter ???

[townfanjon]

guys , I fit Magna pro 2’s and love them but I have two customers where I am pretty sure the towel rails are releasing cra* into the system and the filter is missing it because its not magnetic.
Any off you fitted a strainer as well as a mag filter ??
Cheers in advance

I usually use either spirotec or flamco filter. I don’t use a strainer when having a good Magna filter.

I know of two boilers which have had strainers fitted and both suffered from total heating failure due to them blocking up, the gauze is far to fine and collect far to much smaller particles. The gauze was swiftly removed..

I would recommend the spirotech magnetic filter.
It filters to something small, very small.

Haven’t looked pal , customer didnt look happy when I suggested they may have to be changed

I think it’s the sensible option

I didn’t ask but if they are £60 screwfix ones that’s probably the problem.

Well yeah true mate

Had it happen to me bud I always flush em now before I fit them no reason why you cant fit a strainer as well. Kop
