New boiler with filter in a dirty system

[Frankenstein]

Lets say I have a new boiler installed into a system which hasn't been very well flushed (or worse - not flushed), but I install a good filter.

If I clean the filter often, will the filter be able to protect the boiler?

I know that flushing is important and I've described an unlikely scenario, but has anyone come across this situation?

Every British gas install ive seen!!!

at a minimum the installer should put a good cleaner in the system and do a hot flush, then run the new boiler with a magna cleanse for a few hours

Only if the filter manufacturer can guarantee a 100% pick up on first pass of water.
They nearly do claim that, but nearly won't mean dirt won't get into boiler, albeit hopefully very little.
Flushing a system won't get all dirt anyhow.

Are you going to install a filter after the boiler has been fitted?

Are you going to install a filter after the boiler has been fitted?

What's the normal procedure?

On the Flipside If the installer is offering a flush why wouldn't you do it??? Are you looking to do it yourself?? I say why risk the warranty get it done properly

I'm not touching my system but I want to understand it.

I think that I need to clarify something:

I'm NOT going to install a boiler into a system which hasn't been flushed.

My scenario is hypothetical. How well would a filter protect a new boiler in a dirty, unflushed system?

Depends how dirty the system is. It's just a strange question
