Freebie Alert - Altecnic 22mm dirtmag IQ

[Ray Stafford]

But are they any good Ray?

That, my dear Mas, is the whole point of getting you lot to review them! You wouldn't believe me if I said they were good would you?

I have a feeling that, like most things in life, you get what you pay for. But not every customer can afford top quality gear, and I suspect that any filter is a lot better than no filter at all - so long as it doesnt leak. I would be surprised if an Altecnic product leaked.

Did i see the altechnic new one in this months gas safe mag . The page where they show you companies new products. Im sure it was.. or couldve been spiro

just to cheer up the losers, guess who's been shown the spare room tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How did we ever manage without em eh. Mind u 28mm takes longer to fur up.

 

[jase158]

still haven't fitted my timer!!! need to sort that out and do review otherwise no more freebies for me!!!

 

[lame plumber]

I like the look of the integral flow/return which may mean less leaks

Wet room is it lame?

Thanks Ray!!
Just watching the video in the link. Anyone fitted one?

Yes got one foc from Graham's it's performance was similar to a spirotec- but it's not scrap bucket friendly

 

[kris]

At least it has a removable magnet . Not so keen on non magnetised ones . Only thing has this one isolators on it as i couldnt see from pics looked at.?

hope not, still I can snore to my hearts content tonight.

I'm looking forward to trying this out, if it works well it will be an ideal option when fitting cheaper boilers for landlords etc.

Looks like they are an extra you can buy, also a hose for cleaning/maintenance

Yes, the version that we are selling does have butterfly iso valves. It is also on sale in a version without them, but it only saved about £3, which I thought was little enough for a pair of reasonably decent valves.

Yes, thats the sector that we see it selling into. Hard to persuade someone who only wants to stump up £399 for a boiler to pay nearly 100 notes for a filter that they don't even understand why they need it.

Knackers I've missed it. Although I've got a stash of dirt mags under the bed so not too fussed. I've had a shed load of dissarono tonight. Absolutely wasted and it's not even 11pm. I'm off for some loving and a glass of water. Night all!

Trying to put toothpaste back in the tube springs to mind...

 

[Ray Stafford]

too much detail aaarrggghhhh

Im a real centramag user on the filter front. Be interesting to read the reviews though.

 

[Ermintrude]

We bought 20 centra mags this week. Nice to install, a lot bigger than mag!
