Magnabooster 2 vs Magnaclean vs Fernox TF1?

[ichilton]

Hi,

From other places i've read, the Magnabooster 2 seems to be the favourite - is that true?

Which would people recommend?

Thanks,

Ian

I had a course with Fernox not so long ago and of course they were biased over theres but it was a good product

I would recommend the Sentinel System Filter. It's essentially a Spyrotec unit but much cheaper. Solid brass instead of plastic and much easier to maintain. I get mine out the merchant for similar price to Magnaclean/TF1 but much more solid product.

I like the look of the spirotech and the sentinel units. Is it me or do all of these magnetic filter systems seem expensive for what they are?

yours, tight as a ducks ar*e

Personally, for all it's faults and build quality, i think the magnaclean does the best job.

i have only ever used magna clean,how do you clean the spirotech?it looks more durable

 

[tamz]

It is cleaned by doing a blowdown through a drain valve. Can be done quickly. All brass build.

IMO the spirotech capacity is rubbish compared to the magnclean, only problem with the magnaclean is the o-ring (red on) tends to go within a year causing it to leak out of the cap, i believe this issue was addressed by adey though!

The TF1 is a decent unit, I've switched to fitting these (used to use Magnaclean) and not had any problems. Really surprised how much muck it removes including bits of flux and solder. The magnacleans are good but often leak from lid.

How much room would you say you need to operate the TF1? I think they measure 300mm
