    Removing Sludge with MagnaClean

    Hi All, I have a MagnaClean Professional2 installed on my unvented system boiler. After four years of use my radiators have started to get cold spots. Can I use the filter like a mini Magnacleanse? So put a cleaner into the system, let it circulate for a few hours, vibrate the radiators, then...

    Cleaned out magnaclean filter water is yellow/greenish

    Thought I'd clean out magnaclean filter on my combo boiler (intergas rapid+ 32Kw) Was a complete new install 3 years ago. The system had inhibitor and from what I remember a biocide for the UFH. There was hardly any crud on the magnet, but the grey strainer was slightly green stained bit like...

    MagnaClean on flow

    Hi I'm planning to add MC5+ cleaner to the system as there is a lot of sludge & rust. My concern is that since magnaclean is fitted to flow, the boiler may end up with debris and create problems. I'm planning to drain the system in a week's time and at that point will change the pipework...

    Magnaclean Pro2 tips

    Hello again, after seeing my previous thread about the boiler leak was closed, issue which by the way was resolved after my gas engineer replaced both the diverter block and the actuator, it didn't make sense to replace just a cartridge inside the diverter block as it was all covered in rust and...

    New magnetic filter AND powerflush needed, or just new filter?

    Hey everyone, We had a new combi boiler (Ideal Logic Combi 35) installed with a magnetic filter (Ferrox TF1) about 5 years ago. At the time the system was apparently powerflushed by the installer (it was definitely drained, as i guess it needs to be, but the plumber was not very...

    Adding Fernox DS40 to system via magnetic filter chamber

    I'm planing to use Fernox DS40 to clear out a microbore blockage. I can't use the one of those funnel things for radiators as the radiators are quite narrow and do not have the type of bleed valve where you can screw in the funnel. The heating system is closed, but it does have a MagnaClean...

    How to put leak sealant in via Magna Clean?

    A plumber fitted a Magna Clean for us recently and we now want to put leak sealant through the system (rather than fork out hundreds to pull all of our floors up to find a leak we have). Can anyone explain the process to us? I.e. do we need to drain water out before putting the leak sealant in...

    Unblocking a Heat Exchanger on Worcester 532i combi?

    (I'm no expert but will do a lot of research and attempt most things if it will save me money and is legal to do myself) I moved into this house 1 year ago, but I think the boiler (Worcester 532i) is about 8-9 years old. At the weekend I moved a radiator (Someone had mounted it very high on...

    Very best heating filters but not just magnetic

    Hi, I have always had a problem with my combi boiler and sludge both magnetic and non magnetic. The reason is because of my radiator types and the the fact I have small pipes therefore amplifying the problem of sludge in the system. Enough to take out the heat exchanger. I have the Vitodens...

    Magnetic Filter

    I'm after opinions on which magnetic filter system is viewed as being the best. I've searched various forums and all I can find are posts going back several years and I'm hoping things have moved on a little. My main reason for asking is out of 4 people that I know to have an Adey Magnaclean...

    MagnaClean professional 2

    Hello, I have the above on my boiler and I need to clean it and put some inhibitor in as it's been a year or so since fitted. Is it recommended to put new o-rings/gasket seals in? Someone mentioned I should (they're about £14 I can see). but when I looked at the magnaclean servicing data sheet...
