instinct eco-mag leaking, what's a good replacement?

[dee1954]

Hi there!

First post here, I'm not a plumber.

So glad i find this video....

I have the same eco mag filter, and it was all boxed in....only discovered yesterday that the old boiler cupboard which is now my wardrobe is full of black mold! So been cleaning that all out yesterday :-( My eco mag was also covered in corroded brown metallic goo on top....it's only leaking ever so slightly. So, my question is, this something I can fix myself? Don't really want people in to fix it :-( Can anybody recommend a good replacement for it? Gas here....but judging by the vid all i need to do is turn off both taps and swap it out?

I've just been doing some searching and it looking like there are a lot of options varying from £35-100 ish....don't want something cheap if it's going to go again :-(

Hi
Would you please advise, which filter was an easy swap without changing pipe work around?

I got the Fernox omega in the end, tried to do it, but turned out i had some weird pipework in the end....so had to get a plumber in! Was lucky though, find a decent guy that didn't charge the earth....if you happen to be in the Spalding area I would recommend!
