Servicing the Magnaclean system fitted to my central heating (no more sludge!)
Вставка

- I have a very old central heating system. Whenever I checked the water in the system it would be black and full of sludge. I had the system power flushed by a professional plumber at great expense. I decided to get a Magnaclean Professional 2 system (by Adey) fitted to my central heating system. It has made a huge difference to my central heating and I don't anticipate having to power flush the system again for some considerable time.
The Magnaclean system is basically a filter with a very strong magnet that the central heating water flows through. This collects any suspended sludge from the water.
This video shows how I serviced the Magnaclean filter system after 6-7 months of use. I have serviced the system again since recording the footage for this video and there was hardly any black sludge in the system on the second occasion.

Did you that Fernox will not sell you a replacement magnet assembly for their Filters, even if you have just installed a new one and dropped the magnet assembly breaking it making the filter useless, No you have to buy a complete new filter.
What an excellent customer service policy.
Apart from not checking for non-ferrous material, good work. Gives me confidence to have a go at mine.
Excellent, thank you
Good on ya mate. 👍🇬🇧🏆
Hi, I would remove the o-rings and lube them before refitting or replace them. One in the top cover and one around your drain screw. And after the job is done, bleed the system. No matter how little, but you let the air in.
Saying all this, I am not a plumber nor have I ever done this.
The opposite end of the large plastic spanner used to slacken off the lid is what you use to remove the bottom drain off plug. Don’t need a separate ring spanner.
He didn't remove the air first !
Thanks for the tip? Was going to look through my tool box to see if I had a 14mm spanner? LOL!!!
You forgot to clean out the non ferrous particle capture part at the bottom of the plastic sleeve. It comes off by a quarter turn.
Unfortunately he was found dead with his organs missing
Very good video and tutorial and thanks for also showing us how to add the system protection additive using the Magnaclean as a way of filling the system. Much better way than injecting it via the radiator bleed screw?
Hello sir happy new i have the same central heater the conventional sytel i need to fit the magnaclean professional 2 where shall i install the clean before the waterpump or after ? Please note that our pumps is located up near the hot water tank please answer me thank you
wow 40 years old boiler ,i bought a 5 year old grant combi that was leaking from the rusty water storage tank (still have the photos)
My Worcester Bosch lasted 25 years before dying. I thought I’d done well.
Do u have to bleed filter
I was wondering how often you need to replace the top rubber sealing ring on servicing the filter ?
i wonder if you can buy them or do they make you buy a new magnaclean ?
john smith its available as a service item John
@@johnsmith-mh9hl if you've registered your magnaclean for warranty, Adey will supply a free replacement.
Do you not vent the top nut before switching the heating back on.
yes you should.
Know it’s a old reply but in this vid he didn’t need to because he overfilled inhibitor which spilled out leaving no air trapped. Opening the air vent would have released no air and just inhibitor straight away.
Yes you vent on emptying and refilling to remove air (oxygen) that contributes to corrosion. No oxygen no corrosion. I fitted auto air vents on radiators prone to trapping air though best solution is no leaks. I would recommend a new boiler. If that one is 65% efficient you would expect a new one to repay itself in 5 to 8 years.
@@akshaypatel3338 OK great well understood and thanks for mentioning this?
I just spent 10 minutes trying to pull all the crap off before I realised it's a plastic sleeve over the magnet... Wish I watched the whole video.
You didn’t vent it at the top to release any air
Sorry mate its 13mm
