Hey guys was hoping I could pick some of ur brains....
I have a vailant vcw242 (18yrs old, both HE's replaced) and was planning on getting the magnaclean filter to protect my system. Fairly filthy system with lots of black tiny particles in the water.
My plan is to not get a power flush but instead fit the magnaclean filter. Then remove all the rads and wash them out in the garden with a hose. Then get Sentinel X400 and circulate system and remove residues through the magnaclean filter.
My only concern is, that I read somewhere on the forum that a filter could be added to the magnaclean so that all dirt in the system is collected and not just magnetic ones. I wanted some more info on this. Is this filter within the magnaclean filter or do I have to add it into my system somewhere else?
Basically, at the end of this journey I want to ensure that I have no debris floating around my system. So, magnaclean for magnetic stuff and ..... what do I do with the other crap? Also, to reduce the impact of limescale, I live in very hard water area, I was going to fit Liff Limefighter. Any advice on whether this thing actually works? Liff Limefighter, £20, says that it magnetises particles in the water and prevents it sticking to heat exchange surfaces, is it true?
thanks for ur help guys.
