I guess I could cut the pipe first then just remove the paint around the compression ends (with whatever technique), saves me having to remove paint off a section thats beng cut off :)
@dilalio... had another quick look at the Fernox tf1 omega and the build quality does look way superior to the magnaclean, but what I also need to know is if it cleans way better (but that probably needs more research online!)
It's not lead paint and just a normal heat gun :) ...so think I'll opt for that approach.
As for the filter, I think I spent about an hour or two online yesterday reading umpteen threads on the subject of which filter is best and was still unsure at the end of it!... some swear by the...
it's a 22mm pipe... I was inclined to use the heat gun but was worried about the solder in the elbow joint... I guess the cold water in the pipe would help some with that
Hi,
I am thinking of fitting a magnaclean filter on the boiler return pipe... but the pipe has at least two layers of gloss paint on it! (see attached pic).
I know this has been asked before but what is the easiest AND safest way you'd recommend to remove the paint?
I've seen Nitromor's...
No separate frost thermostat... unfortunately for the time being I can't investigate the problem any further as soon as I turn the central heating system completely off rest of the family start complaining it's too cold!!... so may have to come back to it after the Xmas break or when the weather...
Stem... my HW normally set on "Twice" ie comes on two times a day, once early in the morning and once in late afternoon before we get in. However to rule it out completely I turned it off... so basically the CH & HW on the programmer were set to the "OFF" position the thermostat was turned...
Still none the wiser why things aren't working as expected... may get someone in to look at the wiring set up to see if it was wired properly originally
