Total filter or magna clean?

[Stu.roberts]

Which is better? I've always used the tf1 but a merchant I use is trying to get me to use a magna clean, are they any better?

Personal choice, I prefer the magna clean.

 

[GQuigley67]

i prefer the magnaclean also

 

[bristolsbest]

never had any problems fitting the TF1. Never fitted a magna clean plus there more expensive

I have used both and had problems with both.

The magnaclean valves leak and I have had one leak from the plastic body.

The Fernox TF1 is better but can leak from the drain valve. I usually add a further isolating valve or brass cap.

I am going to try the Spirotech SpiroTrap MagnaBooster next time, it has has a twenty year guarantee and is all brass and smaller & neater. Unless anyone knows why I should not try it, if so let me know your thoughts.

Thanks for the info guys, think I'll stick to what I know best then.

Magna clean for me as well.

I use total filter, but i want to try Spirotech SpiroTrap MagnaBooster next time as well

I've fitted loads of magnaboosters on warmfront jobs and they're not a patch on magnacleans or TF1s. Really well engineered but nowhere near as effective.
