Adey Magnaclean Professional 2 any thoughts?.

[Peter Clarke]

I was looking at putting a filter on the return on my ariston boiler. I was originally looking at either the Fernox TF-1 Filter or the Compact version. But I recently noticed that Adey have released a new version of there Magnaclean. The Professional 2. Has anyone had experience of these or have they fitted one?. If so what are your thoughts on the product?.

I saw in there video they remove to attach the magnacleanse machine! But should not really be necessary too much I guess!

All in all, I think it's a good quality bit of kit! Definitely still a premium filter... Please remember these comments when deciding who wins that shiny new vw transporter mr adey... I know you read these things

Cant see why the pushfit fittings would be any worse than any other plastic pushfit fittings.

I agree to a certain extent but o rings on anything heating form my personal exprience is a crap idea because you just cant undo or disconnect properly due to the hardened sludge etc that seals them onto the pipework, then theres a risk of leaks if the o rings arent replaced because of heat and chemical stress. pain in the arse imho.

i can certainly give you examples of o ring problems on boilers for example britony combi ,all the parts held in by o rings .
Look at all the plastic fittings hep 2 0 ,polypipe ,jg speedfit .
Unanimously jg speedfit the worst for leaking and that is what magnaclean has picked

Yeah it's all good when there brand new & clean fittings... But once the sludge has settled in it makes a right stubborn mess where your o ring needs to seat & seal!

Its like changing parts on boilers! You just can't clean this crap off!

so you are just doing it for the van ,does your customer know ! LOL

The customer won't mind! They get a magnet filter, I get a new t5... Everyone's a winner!

Did you not mention giving away a holiday? That would be the same principle...

 

[bspareltd]

Yes i am thinking of a holiday competition for 2 to spain all inclusive . The person that reveals the dirtiest system ie catch debris with the centramag filter and puts it on you tube .
Would you participate ?

 

[gassafe]

It's a good idea, the you tube idea will also generate alot of views from the public!

 

[bspareltd]

then you would be going for 2 competitions ,you could drive over to spain in your new transporter LOL

In my experience, the worst for leaks are Polypipe, lots of new builds up here last about 3 years then the patches appear in the ceilings, almost all of them have been polypipe fittings.

I like the magnaclean professional 1 & 2...I know that a lot of fitters complain about leaks on them but I've never had a single leak from one yet.
Only fitted 2 of the professional 2 ones so not much experience with them yet but seem good.
Also took a magnaclean apart the other day and found what looked like a cigarette butt in there ....

 

[bspareltd]

you have just persuaded me to start the competition
