Hi Hi Hi
Does anyone have any experience or opinions on these central heating filters: http://www.eurofiltersuk.co.uk/ , as I can't find much about them online. I put a magnaclean on the neglected system that I moved in to a few years ago, and it seems to catch a bit of sludge, but it lets all the oily oxide flakes straight through to the DHW heat exchanger, where they slowly collect until the hot water starts going south after several months. I'm thinking about replacing the magnaclean with a magnatised sieve Eurofilter, (or putting just a Eurofilter sieve after the magnaclean, if I can fit it in without ripping up floorboards).
The idea of just cleaning a filter rather than having to flush out the dhw heat exchanger is nice, but do these filters actually work? They make very grand claims about catching 95 - 100% of contaminants, compared to 50 ish %, or even much less, for more well known brands, but that wouldn't be so great if the filter is forever clogging and shutting down the boiler?
