Are Boiler Buddies Any Good?

[plumbandplumber]

Until now I have either fitted Magnacleans or Spirovent Magnaboosters when a system filter is needed.

I have stopped using Magnacleans because of quality problems, and recently I have seen suggestions that Magnaboosters don't catch much.

I am considering changing to Boiler Buddy filters. Are they good? Has anyone had any problems with them? Any other suggestions appreciated.

Easy to fit but cleaning isn't as easy as other brands as magnet is not sleeved.

Fernox TF1.. fitted a few now. One of the best things about it is you dont need to use the valves to clean it out, and if the drain on the bottom ever did start letting by(not happened yet) you could stick a 1/2" washer in the cap.

btw the boiler buddy i wouldn't go there if you want your customer to be able to clean it out. Its not diy friendly, and the clear plastic doesnt stay clear for long

did notice the plastic going black very quickly Micky

bit of a sod when it does as you have the punter bleating that the system must be completely clogged

TF1 TF1 TF1 TF1 TF1...I was so impressed I fitted one on my own system. Easy to empty and no leaking valves.
