Identifying Heating System Filter

[CaptainS]

Hello,
Can anyone help identify the filter that's been put on our central heating system. We cannot get hold of the plumber who installed it and there doesn't seem to be any identification on it. It is leaking so we need to replace it and hope to do like-for-like. I've attached the best picture we have.
Many thanks
Captain S

hi mate dont no the make but it looks like a old old version magic clean you will be very lucky to get a direct replacement id personally be looking to upgrade to the newer magnetic filter any good plumbers merchant will sell them down side is u
you will have to alter the pipe work to it

Thanks vey much for this. As it's an old filter (although only put in a couple of years ago) that would explain a lot things. When we decided to replace the filter we found a box next to the boiler for a "Guardian Ultra Clean Pro Filter" which we thought was the filter that had been installed. We went ahead and purchased it. If we'd looked closer we would have immediately realised that it was not the same one - as you say the pipe work is all wrong.

Anyway, to cut a long story short, is it worth getting the Guardian filter plumbed in now we have bought it?

Thanks for any advice.

It does not look that differant as regards the fittings to the pipework,obviously I do not have the dimentions,but that seems as good as any

Consumables - Guardian - at trade wholesale prices UK

In fact apart from transparent housing all looks the same !
