Today, just 5 days after we had our boiler serviced by British Gas, we received a quote for the installation of a Magnabooster into our water system. I do remember the engineer mentioning a device for collecting sludge, but I certainly didn't respond or ask for a quote.
Our heating system (everything) was replaced in March 2012 by a local Gas Safe guy & he said that should give us years without trouble. Last year, we paid British Gas to move the boiler from the attic to the bedroom airing cupboard & again, no mention was made of needing any further devices. Now, British Gas are wanting £269 for this Magnabooster.
Can anyone advise whether this device is necessary or value for money? I've read tales of British Gas blaming customers who haven't installed their Magnaboosters or Powerflush devices for boiler breakdowns.
Our boiler is a Vaillant ecoTEC Pro28.
