Just want to post my views on the Fernox TF1 magnetic filter.
I had a filthy system, took all the rads off, gave them a good shake and flushed them through. Of course couldn't give the pipes the same treatment. But the water looked clean when i filled t up again. However, as an extra line of defence I also installed the fernox TF1.
After a few hours usage I checked and emptied the TF1 and it had mopped up a surprising amount of gunk (and continues to do so).. I now empty the filter every few days and am planning to do another chemical flush and refill.
FYI no issues with the TF1, I disassemble it regularly and it never leaks.
So IMO it's better than the spirotech and magnaclean. Spriotech is solid and easier to install but doesn't hold dirt like the TF1.
