What's The Verdict On The Magnaclean Pro 2

[Whitespirit66]

Not sure how long the Pro 2 has been out, but possibly enough time for installers and engineers to get an idea if they're an improvement on other models. Previous models developed a reputation for leaks. Would be interesting if they have perfected what was always a promising product. Or does it still have problems?

Magnaclean and perfect are far far apart on the scale. BUT, the magnaclean pro2 certianly seems to be a lot sturdyer than their previous attempts. Not seen any leaky ones yet. (although they do send out faulty isolating valves from time to time)

I've never had a problem with any Magnacleans at all, the Pro2 is good in certain situations but it's different rather than an improvement IMHO

 

[ScottishGasMan]

The older magnacleans (origional ones) leaked like sieves, the valves broke and leaked, they were generally terrible, seen a few where the magnets dissolved and fell away.

The TF1s have taken the lead with leaks now as far as I've seen.

Thanks for your replies. Fitted a few Magnacleans some time ago, but gave up on them after a couple of problems with them. As no one has highlighted any major drawbacks with the Pro, I'll give one a try.

Fitted about 20, had one leak slightly at the push fit o ring bottom connection on the unit.

Removed and had a look and there was a wee nick in the o ring, whether it was me or factory not sure but Pts replaced no problem.

Have to agree, my preferred choice is always spirotec

Hmmn... Gotta fit a magnet on Tues and space is a bit tight!
Tempted to try one of these.
Where's best place to obtain one?
Does your local trade counter order or stock them for you or do you buy online? What model do you use and price?
If you don't mind me asking?

Pts usually have them in stock as bg use them.
Not sure about other merchants, think I saw them in local Plumbase also but were more expensive there.
Think Pts was about £80 plus vat but I have no terms with them.

I still believe the mb3 doesn't catch nearly as much magnetite as adey ones tbh.

Certainly the mb2s were a joke, feel for the thousands of bg customers conned into getting them for magnetite issues.
