Replacing an old system boiler with a new bells and whistles combi, is it absolutely necessary once the ch system has been flushed to fix a scale inhibitor-reducer and magnaclean filter ? how many of you do this as standard when installing ?
is it ESSENTIAL ?

it's not a must
they do help but it's not a regulation to fit them.

The british standard that covers this only states that the system must be flush as per manufacturers Instructions (its not very direct but a very vague bit of paper it is)
But IMHO you would be spoiling the ship for a hap'orth of tar if you dont fit a boiler buddy/magnaclean to the system

I'm sure you could think of a way to change the subject
I usually just powerflush system and only fit a filter if the customer asks for it.

do you ever suggest it to a customer mate?
we just fit them now, saves call backs it do
an old system will never get fully clean, even if it's powerflushed. the magnaclean will pick up any circulating black sediment from the water and trap it before it can get into the new boiler and clog it up. It continues working indefinitely and takes only a few minutes to empty.
I will not repeat my anecdote (this evening) but you can use the "search" button above and search on "Magnaclean" for heaps of previous posts.
