To be honest, it looks the business.
filters are all pretty much the same, comes down to the price your paying them for.
are they cheaper than £70

to be fair its designed so you flush through with clean water but i wanted to take it out and see what crap it had caught,it does wipe off quite easily,it also comes with service washers,not really having issues with magnacleans but this looks a better product altogether so i am specifying this brand in future
Haha. I've never has the balls to clean it in a sink, I've always took them to the outside tap and done them there. 🙂
FREE!!! As long as he reviews it one here and say how good it is and makes all us buy one 🙂

I like it Steve I think the valves will be the weak spot as they are same as the Magnacleans which are sh1 t!
agree, and dont like tool, tho they are going to make a separate spanner

No I didn't! Will be having STERN words lol. He did ring to ask about my recommendation but never told me he started stocking them. Did you notice the price?
When are you about in Cas bud? I thought you were too good for us lowly folk these days?

Lol pal, full demo one on counter in box, glossy A5 leaflets on counter, did not get price as in a rush picking up a fan for a Baxi Solo3 yesterday and only Mick was in, Ginger prince was out somewhere......I asked who got them stocked Mick said You so get a free one pal......
i like the flat washer on the lid, rather o ring, like the brass insert for drain valve, like it all but the valves and maybe will get grubby as others have pointed out, full pack of replacements washers in box too!
Vern if you decide to buy the centramag filter and look at the valves there is a o ring seated under the handle so to prevent any leaks and i have made sure that spare o rings are in the box but Vern if you have any issues dont hesitate in contacting me .I have given out 300 free samples and not one person has complained about the valves please do not compare my valves with magnaclean because the internal fitting of the valves are slightly different .

We collected 2 from AT Carr (AMS) on approval - both installed no problems - it is a very sturdy easy installed unit - the strainer for non magnetic cr- stuff is clever.
The valves are not like the early Magnaclean ones and as said the sealing ring on top is designed to last.
We will be paying for our two and buyin more now........centralheatking

looks like a magnaclean has mated with a fernox tf1 and this is the offspring
you can wipe the filter with jiff or white spirits

no more like the best of both built to be a better product
Fitted a couple now, and pleased with the results, will most likely be my filter of choice for the moment.
edit to add: A 28mm version would be nice as well

Right pal will take your word that the valves are different, only glanced at them TBH ......you'll be eating any valves that leak though for breakfast lol!!
Has anyone captured any non magnetic crude in the Centramag? I can see Mark has lots of magnetic sludge in his pics, only asking as not impressed with the Sentinel eliminator, indeed one nearly ( read would have had i not been in) flooded my own house when I fitted my new WB boiler at Christmas, I have found their weak spot through this!
All you need to do when servicing is to remove magnet and flush ,you never need to disassemble

I have to say bud, I'm very impressed and chuffed for you, that you've managed to design, manufacture and get this product to market without the help of the big boys, especially at the price point you've achieved, considering the positive feedback you've been getting, and I wish you every success with it. Hope it goes well for you.
Now send Paul an email and make sure I get my free sample! Lol

Just to add to this I fitted my first Centramag last week.
The customer liked the packaging.

You can see the bag of spare washers etc.

I was a bit concerned about screwing the tap in until I saw the brass thread.

The tap seems nice and robust.
