I did some searches here and the question appears to be quite a can of worms!
I have a Valliant 282e which has a secondary heat exchanger which is clogging up on a regular basis. I do flush and put in inhibitor in every year - but regardless, this is happening. I think I need a filter. I'd rather spend a bit more and put a quality product which needs only a clean every 6 months or a year. What I don't want is something which is going to give me other kinds of grief.
So the trade-offs seem to be longevity/leaks against performance. The Spirotech doesn't seem to leak and is solid - but doesn't filter as well, though it does both ferrous and non-ferrous particles. The Magnatec filters very very well - but only ferrous particles. The Fernox device, might leak, and filters both ferrous and non-ferrous.
Which one would you install - have Magnatec solved the leaking issues?
