Advice needed on best boiler Filter and tepid hot water

[Harvest Fields]

I suppose they have there place. But I like to see what has been collected.

A magna only collects magnetic particals (doesn’t it?)

No It collects non metallic particles too, when you take the sleeve out to clean it, the bottom cap clips off and you clean that section out too.

Surely that depends on the magna?

You unclip this bit

The zone at the top of the filter is also designed to capture larger non metallic particles

Well I didn’t know that. Hence the question mark earlier

I didn't either until I saw PB plumbing on YouTube doing it

Thanks again guys, Is there a shop to buy all the kit from that helps the forum? Don't want to be one of those people that asks for advice and gives nothing back.

 

[Harvest Fields]

Do not think so mate. I would recommend that you shop around.

Hmm. I'm assuming that the majority of scale on a plate heat exchanger is on the secondary side? As such, would it be legal and practical to turn the boiler off, connect a small pump e.g. a pond pump to the boiler cold inlet and then run what would be the hot outlet back into the bucket. The bucket would be full of warm descaling solution?

Could be left running overnight.

Might this work? Obviously too much of a faff for a pro, but if the OP has more time than money...
