Magnaclean or Fernox TF1?

[Piratepete]

Hi Guys
Do these 2 magnetic filters have any advantages or drawbacks over each other?
I need to buy and fit one, but which?

I'd have a magnaclean

I'd have a magnaclean

Why so?

TF1 has stronger magnet and is easter to fit and easter to clean and also has a cyclonic action to take other bits not just magnetic parts, magnaclean has awful valves but can be fitted in tighter locations and is slightly smaller. Rd1 is easyer to dose chemicals into aswell.

sory about spelling my phone changed the words easter is easyer rd1 is tf1

I prefer Total filter, it is bit cheaper, easier to install and use. Customer can clean it so often easily. Total filter installer set is a good value.

I'm installing this beside the boiler and breaking into the return pipe at ceiling level. The Magnaclean looks easier to install if both feed and return come from above but I suppose a few extra elbows is small beer if the TF1 is so much better?

Spirotech magnabooster2 is the best imo.

If some one thinks one is better than others please could you give reasons why you think so? Would help people see if a particular benefit suits their needs

TF1 for me, removes magnetic and non magnetic particles. No messing about with those silly valves which leak on the magnaclean either.
