Hang on a minute......before you were famous you were sending free samples out! Just like the rest of them, you would be nothing without us peasants! 🙂
 
Thinking of starting a competition on trappex website for dirty filter video competition similar to gasmans video ,probably offer a holiday for 2 to spain all inclusive .Do you think it would create interest ?

Got a flush on Thursday and want to try something new, plus I currently pay £104inc vat for magnacleans...where can I order one from?
 
Heating world of Spares @£59.99 ,much cheaper than magnacleans

dont forget to add the vat and 7.50 shipping bit pricey.

considering you have used this forum for free promotion shouldnt you be offering product to us directly at trade price.
 
if there were enough interested buyers ,i would probably consider it ,but still cheaper than magnaclean and tf1's and better !!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
true mark but i can get a tf1 for 60 quid so will stick with them
trouble i find with those is they leak,and i dont do unreliable products in fact heres another gone in today,video to follow

Never had a problem with them so will keep using them

Bspares how much you selling them for thats the price you should be selling them to us in the plumbers arms considering how much free exposure youve had in here its the least you can do

I get them from my local merchant when i buy a boiler
 
The pic of the magnet [by gasman page 1] looks like the magnet that was used on the Pulsardirect filter. [ now not trading ]

I had to replace a few of these filters as they would not release to clean, these were not fitted by me, the customers were not happy about replacing an item that was supposed to protect their system after 2/3 years of use.

The isolators are the same as the Magnaclean that got loads of stick for been crap and leaked, Magnaclean provided new service kits foc, Pulsar direct went bust.

Without sounding like a grumpy barsteward it does seem to be a great advert for a product without a long standing record of performance or customer service /backup.

Is this the way the forum is to be run in the future??
 
centramag has only been out 3 months not three years ago !Centramag valves look like the magnaclean red leaking valves but is a diifferent design altogether and have a additional seal under the isolator to prevent any leaks .
The filter that you are stating regarding the pulsar filter was a clear filter and paper thin made in china , this is made in the uk with good duarability .

I wouldn't take it personally, no names where mentioned mate.

This is a strange thread though.

I am prepared to give away a free filter tonight to the first person that replies to the message and abides by the rules .
1. make a video within 4 weeks of taking this filter and put it on youtube ,remember it has to be a dirty system .

What did you do before you made this filter? Have you always been a designer or where you a fitter before hand?

I won't use it bspareltd. I very rarely do installs, it's best off going to someone who will use it.

Im not knocking your product. It looks th business, but I wouldn't use it for ages mate.

Why not put your money where mouth is and be a sponsor on the forum.

Your product looks ok but its unproven only time will tell if its reliable or not.
 
i am spending £2500 per month on marketing so i am doing my fair share .Aprils registered gas engineers magazine (gassafe) got 1/2 a page £1200 not cheap .Ray Stafford is the main sponsor on this forum

Not the main sponsor - just one of many. Richard from ********* was here long before me, and some of the other sponsors post occassionally - Mr Copperbits has been coming on from time to time.

I just happen to be the one with keyboard incontinence. 🙂

I am not trying to prove how bad your product is.

I asked was the magnet used the same as the now unavailable Pulsar direct filter ?

I also questioned your ability long term to honour warranties ?

Im not asking to be shown how wrong I am, all magnetic filters will show a result.

The extra life a magnetic filter can give to a boiler vs the reliability of the product is paramount.

HOWEVER !! The bad will that can be caused between a great customer of long standing who trusts
you to recommend and supply equipment that goes wrong after 18 months even less sometimes causes the
customer to go elsewhere ! Be it my fault or not.

Scalemaster magnetic filters {you know the green plastic push fit crap ones that decide to split !! } have cost me a lot of money in good will repairs foc.

Just to put my thoughts in.

I've got a centramag, and although I haven't had chance to fit it yet, it looks like the best quality manufactured filter I've seen. All the best bits of the Magnaclean with none of the drawbacks. The MC pro 2 is good but a lot more expensive.

TF1's are crap, no one would fit them if they weren't cheap.

Tf1s are crap mate. Your right. I hate the things.

I don't think you can beat the spirotech though. Really sturdy bit of kit and I've never seen one leak, easy to service and looks expensive.

Totally understand the problems with a new product and getting exposure.

Older engineers on here like me (43 ) some older Diamond Gas !! have seen some really crap products come and go.

The idea of business is get a customer and keep it for years.

Suggest a product that fails and then the trust factor slips away and you lose the customer.

Hence the reason
I only buy over the counter when I can

Which totally flawed my reasoning whilst dealing with Scalemaster ( because they are .....)
 
in three months i have grown from nothing to 55 independent merchants ,they are selling over the counter and getting repeat orders .So must be doing something right . No where near the big boys like magnaclean or fernox but that does not bother me .

Any of those up in my neck of the woods? Would like to hold one in my hands. At the moment it is Magnaclean all the way.

Since I had a TF1 blasting at me. Not funny and pretty black. The thing had choked up due to lack of service and all over sudden it decided to share its content with the environment. Luckily been fitted in a garage.

The bucket underneath had little in it but my skyline was shown on the wall.

Fortunately my ex-boss was standing near enough to see how it happened without being affected too.

looks like a clean system ! Was this a new system or a boiler swap and after how long was the centramag checked for debris ?

looks like a system that may have been looked after ,filled with inhibitor regularly .
You may want to see what it has caught after a few months .
 
it only comes with one copper elbow ,in the instruction manual it states one elbow .Please note in the installation guide part 2 at the bottom it states "Note ;elbow supplied for the nearest pipework"
You only need one street elbow for the nearest valve to the pipe work ,you use 22mm copper pipe and a standard 22mm elbow for the farthest pipe

you got to admire mr newey he knows his stuff i honestly dont think vettel would have won his titles without him.
 
I think it is that time of the month that a free trappex centramag is given away FREE!!!
Once again the conditions are ,you have to fit the centramag filter within 4 weeks and make a youtube video to show how much debris is caught ,the cherry on the cake is you can also win a holiday for two worth £1000 to spain.
First one to reply gets the centramag filter free
