Is it worth fitting a magnetic filter?
If your central heating system has been treated with corrosion inhibitor, a magnetic filter may not be necessary. However, it’s useful to be able to spot the signals that your heating system might benefit from the addition of one of these filters.
Should I fit MagnaClean?
MagnaClean® Professional is suitable for all central heating systems and can be fitted anywhere on the main circuit. However, in order to achieve the best protection for the boiler, it is recommended that MagnaClean Professional is fitted after the last radiator before the boiler.

Where should MagnaClean be fitted?
MagnaClean Professional is suitable for all central heating systems and can be fitted anywhere on the main heating circuit. In order to achieve the best protection for the boiler, it is recommended that MagnaClean Professional is fitted between the last radiator and the boiler (see diagram overleaf).
Can I clean MagnaClean myself?
When you have a MagnaClean filter fitted, it collects attracts the particles that cause sludge and this can then be cleaned off as part of a regular boiler service. It’s also something you can do yourself.

Why do you need a magnaclean for a heat exchanger?
The hot water circulating around your heating system picks up bits of debris (or magnetite) which can eventually build up in the system. A MagnaClean attracts all these bits of debris with a magnet as the water flows through it, preventing a build up of sludge in the heating system or on the heat exchanger. Where will the MagnaClean be installed?
When do I need to remove the magnetic filter from my boiler?
The sludge that the magnetic filter is clearing from the heating system needs to be removed from the filter itself every now and then. You can ask an engineer to do this during the annual service of your boiler. What if I Don’t Have a Magnetic Filter?
