This video reviews the Magnaclean Magnetic Filter to clean your boiler and radiators or sludge in the heating system. We show you how they work, how they use a huge magnet to attract magnetite from the heating system water, how to install one and how to use the magnaclean as a dosing pot for adding central heating inhibitor and cleaners.

I bought a house with a five-year-old boiler, it had a Magnaclean filter fitted when the boiler was fitted. As far as I know, the boiler hasn't been serviced since the boiler was fitted. I drained down the system and took the filter off to clean it at the same time. The filter was absolutely solid with black fillings and sludge so I cleaned it and then put inhibitor through the filter. It's a filthy job but it gave me a lot of satisfaction.

Watching as I've just purchased mines as its never been cleaned since I moved in as people don't do services properly. And watching this is a great very informative. I'm not a plumber but I'm sure I've got this ... not only is this informative but he's a pleasure to watch lol

Had a brand new system boiler installed last year in my house to replace a combi boiler. My engineer fitted a magma clean pro two which looked absolutely sick on the return end of the boiler. Haven’t had it serviced as of yet and it’s been there for 15 months now. Wow the sludge thats gonna be removed is gonna be nuts. Service booked for tomorrow

@talalhayat6161 Месяц назад

What should you do if you put the filter the wrong way around

@CarmenFerale Год назад

Thanks for the vid, helped to clean one!

@PasajeroDelToro Год назад

Can you have two of these installed on a central heating system? Upstairs and downstairs? I have a boiler upstairs and I have the same sized pipes in the wall of my kitchen down below. I will have a new boiler installed soon, maybe a Baxi , and it comes with another magnet filter ( Adey MagnaClean Pro2 I think, but I've got an old red labelled Magnaclean Pro upstairs). I'm thinking that if alot of the magnitite particles were removed before heading up a pipe from downstairs to the boiler, then it would put less strain on the pump, because it wouldn't have to pump sludge up the pipe, against gravity. Then, by the boiler have another just before the return valve to stop any remnant magnitite from being pumped into the boiler.

@brrymcgolly Год назад

Hi.. I have a question.. should the Scale filter be connected to the hot pipe... pluss it has been leaking over 10 months. By chance, look at your uter video. The one I has been leaking from the bottom. Brass nut.. Thanks

@jimduffy295 3 года назад

best entertaining useful video ive watched in years- well done, your a natural. an the magnet filter looks decent

@davegee124 4 года назад

@user-od2wt9iw2b 2 года назад

James what if the Magnaclean needs to be installed with access to the valves needed on the left not the right as space is so tight.

@johnspanos3862 2 года назад

my boiler has 3 return zones coming back to the boiler manifold. I don't have room to install this on the manifold right before the boiler. Can I just install this on one of the 3 return zone since all the water will end up mixing in the boiler anyway and should eventually make it's way through the zone with the magnaclean? Thanks!

@3GreeneBJ 3 года назад

An excellent video. I hope you get some commission from the maker. It looks very convincing as a very necessary accessory to any system. I now need to get a price. Thank you.

I’m not sure my combi boiler that’s fitted in a kitchen wall unit has any room to fit one of these. Any ideas?

@ManifestingMagick 3 года назад

We have got one of these installed on our new boiler in a flat we rent. Should it be a professional responsible for cleaning this or should we be safe to do this as tenants? No-one told us what to do, they just installed it.

@gregmcdonald8180 4 года назад

Hi, great video as always. I've got a question to ask you. I have recently had a magnaclean professional 2 installed with my new boiler and I have added the mc3 cleaner afew weeks ago and now I'm ready to add the mc1 protector. I have read that I need to drain the whole system before adding the mc1 to the magnaclean and then fill up the whole system again. Is that correct? Or am I missing anything out? Thanks. Keep the great videos coming, they are a great help. 👍

@UberAlphaSirus 7 лет назад

Help us out James, Got a problem not encountered before. Fitted twin impeller shower pump on thermostatic shower/filler. Every time another hot tap is turned off, the pump cycles. Doesn't do it on cold as everything cold is on the main, all the hot is on gravity. no surry or essex installed. Cheers for the advice

@Elldeeve Год назад

Can you remove the container part after it’s been fitted to the back pipe bit? I have a second hand one and don’t want to force anything

@zedman442 7 лет назад

It too sure about the magnackeans but they have been around abit. I like the trapex filters they are solid with flat washers. Also for a solid brass the spirotechs are good too.

@markthacker6213 3 года назад

If you have a condensing boiler would you need 2 of these 1 for boiler and 1 for rads

@actiongirl5 7 лет назад

People keep telling me the how simple they are to install and that they have done it with ease, do you think a homeowner can install a magnaclean or is this strictly a job for the pro's? I have been pondering the thought for a short while now our boiler is out of warranty and out of all the ones you can buy out there I still come back to the Magnaclean Pro.

@nikodemandy3591 Год назад

Hi mate. The way my both ( upstairs and downstairs)return pipes run doesnt allow me to put a magnaclean. So the only option is to put a filter on return pipe coming from upstair or the one coming from downstair. Now, will be be beneficial at all to put two magnaclean filters one for upstairs pipe and one for downstairs pipe or will one be enough? Thanks

@paulf1071 7 месяцев назад

I have a similar issue, as I have no room to fit the MagnaClean on the return pipe. How did two separate filters work out for you? (Did you have to increase the pump speed to overcome the added flow restriction?)

@vo5man 2 года назад

I can it’s a benefit but is it necessary to have for an unvented system given that no oxygen will touch the central heating system?

@LeeHoMusic 4 года назад

Great video James. Do you do gas work boiler installation ect? Or its just plumbing and may I ask what type of qualification do you have if you don't mind me asking?

@PhilBrighton4 2 года назад

Great videos, James. I'm keen to install a Magnaclean Pro2, but the only realistic place I can mount it is on the right hand side of my wall mounted Baxi Solo boiler in the 135mm gap between the boiler and the adjacent wall. Is the magnet likely to affect the operation of the boiler at all?

@antonymurray1976 4 года назад

Hi James do you think it would benifit me getting a Magnetic Filter fitted to my boiler it is 7yrs old as are the rads no problems at all at the moment i am just thinking going forward thanks

@gilly0264 5 месяцев назад

Question should a plumber clean the MC on a service as I’m told NO. I’m too frightened to do ourselves as one did come off its fittings when turning the top. I’d done this many times & never happened! You can imagine the water shot into our boiler 😵‍💫 Shouldn’t have happened eh? Plumber obviously put on incorrectly!

@Runnerbreaker 4 года назад

Wow good job , I have water well and last time when cleaning upstairs tank my boiler got dirty inside and need to flush boiler as warm water is kind of orange , if I have 2 systems going to 1 tank (oil system & stove ) would I need 2 filters? is any way I can install this before water is going from attic to boiler?

@UberAlphaSirus 7 лет назад

I do like the magna cleans, they are a pleasure to service. btw, release the preaaure on zee bottom vone.

@waynebritton6711 3 года назад

Hi I'm having problems with my boiler no matter how many times I repressure my boiler within hours hours it drops again or if im running hot water it drops i was thinking of getting it powweflushed would it help ive had it serviced and its passed could you give me some ideas of what it could be ive had this problem for a long time but over the last couple of years its got worse it used to last a few months now like I sed its hours until I run hot water cheers

@djmorgan78 6 лет назад

Stupid question time.... My return pipe comes down from the ceiling into the boiler. Can i fit the manifold upside down, (in relation to what you did in the vid) so the valves are still accessible when the unit is slanted off to the right? Incidentally, I've read that the filter still works ok with water flowing top to bottom, unless anyone can tell me different?

@nylas100 3 года назад

Do you have to switch the system off before cleaning out the magnaclean?

@sandb8509 4 года назад

What's the dosage of MC1 and MC3? everything seems to come in a twin pack but the filter looks too small to hold 2 lots of 500ml in one go

@ktmidol 6 лет назад

hi does this have to be in 22mm pipe only or can be done in 15mm pipe?

@craig8443 6 лет назад

Looking at fitting this on my boiler but due to how it's been fit, I wouldn't be able to fit it on the inlet. Would it be of any use on the outlet?

@TW-mp8zx 6 лет назад

Craig not sure if you have ventured into fitting this yet but its best to fit this onto the return to the boiler because the idea of it is to stop anything magnetic from blocking up the small waterways inside the boiler... this wont however stop any non magnetic sludge from entering the boiler tho... i would also recommend fitting an inline strainer on the same pipe after the magnet filter and before the boiler..

@ryankuleszka6860 6 лет назад

Legend truly even for novices great videos

@jayman7752 7 лет назад

Where are these particles coming from? Copper pipe in non ferrous so that slug can only be coming from xchanger in boiler and the rads. Am I correct?

@plumberparts 7 лет назад

Yep!

@luccaliil4579 7 лет назад

@briandjordjevic9969 7 лет назад

@normanboyes4983 7 лет назад

But you did not tell us about the 'little red wheel' that allows you to dismount the unit for servicing (after isolating of course) - if the unit can only be installed in a cramped space.

@plumberparts 7 лет назад

Going to do a few more reviews on their stuff so will cover more in depth. It was late on a Friday (like 6pm and I like pub!) so made a quick one!

@rgdsg01d5r8 6 лет назад

where can i put it (magnaclean) in the beginning or the return pipe

@16vastraturbo 5 лет назад

I've just moved into my new house and mine is on top of the boiler right at the start of the flow pipe.. would that cause any restrictions to the flow of the water coming out the boiler

@AppleOranges12 5 лет назад

No, the flow is unrestricted. Although can be done, its generally not good practice to install it on the flow side.

@Gixer750pilot 7 лет назад

Guys, my boiler is boxed in, inside a cupboard and all the pipework is chased into a wall. where can I fit a Magniclean? can it be fitted in the cupboard upstairs where the expansion tank is? there is loads of pipes there, one must go back tot he boiler. sorry im not a plumber.

@stefanmacdonaldbrown999 5 лет назад

Where to put it if you e got a floor standing boiler?

@plumberparts 5 лет назад

Hi, great video! What would you recommend, a Adey Magna Clean micro 2 filter and chemical pack or a BoilerMag Part L compliance pack 22mm? Adey price atm is £75 ex vat vs Boiler mag is £89 ex Vat. Cheers!

@rayc1503 4 года назад

Boilermags a winner for me. The micro has a smaller magnet then the professional 2. It's good when you have restrictive space. The adey professional with a part cleanser/inhibitor pack is around £90 from toolstation. Just be sure to use ptfe on the threads before you attach the nuts.

@darionigro8981 7 лет назад

Hang on, hang on, James, where did you get that bleed key that's in the Swiss army format? Looks good, I need one, always losing mine.

@G33kyThing 5 лет назад

Hello, I have a question for you James. I have recently been looking at electromagnet and magnetic water softeners for preventing lime scale build up when boiling the kettle. Are these devices just snake oil or do they really work? There is a lot of conflicting info on them online. I would love to know the truth.

@woodbine66 7 лет назад

Always liked the performance of the original Magnaclean, but the leaks and one or two other problems always let them down. Great product, but flawed. However, hoping that it's 2nd time lucky, and they have ironed out the problems, I have just fitted the new Pro 2 to my parents' ch system. Here's hoping!

@plumberparts 7 лет назад

Mate, I've never had a problem! Which part leaked for you?

@Pagetsgarage 5 месяцев назад

Had to watch your video could not get flow…. I thought i had to prime it…..no the valves where still off haha 😅

@davidwhittaker7008 6 лет назад

My pipes from the boiler go straight into the roof space then under floor boards and reappear in the airing cupboard. My question how do which will be the return to the boiler?

@esecallum 6 лет назад

the COOLER one.

@burdenstephen 2 года назад

I have one of these which is due for a clean. I have not been left the tool to open and close the lid though, is it possible to do by hand? I have some grips but they aren't quite wide enough

@Grahammon 2 года назад

check out the Adey RU-vid channel for the servicing instructions turn of the valves follow the draining instructions release the trigger and pull off the MagnaClean then clean etc and replace, bleed and so on. it's straightforward

@paulthomas3841 3 года назад

@damienpeckham2834 3 года назад

I've just found your channel on searching this subject. I'm at an early point in my training (change in career for me), and constantly wanting to know what and why as I learn the new skills. Great video. Very clear and well explained. Thank you 👍

@dennistreacy2160 5 лет назад

Looks like you caught the magnetite from the water mains.

@abcracing 2 года назад

My plumber fitted this to the outlet rather than the return is this worth paying someone to sort?

@PasajeroDelToro Год назад

Magnets are less effective at higher temps. May be slightly better on the return as the temp difference usually isn't very large. However, it would be easier to isolate if the water temp was a bit cooler on the return.

@abcracing Год назад

@@PasajeroDelToro thank you

@Senna-xi1gr 3 года назад

@paulmarshall8012 6 лет назад

where can these be installed I'm in a new build so no room around the boiler due to cupboard but on the 2nd floor I have a hot tank

@1LittleTinker 4 года назад

I'm just wondering this also. No room near boiler but main common flow off the boiler into airing cupboard has space before CC / HW splits. I think this will be fine, before exchanger would be better but no can do in my case

@CarlosArruda77 4 года назад

Does One need to be one) gas Safe registered and 2) have the boiler ticket in order to install one? Thanks.

@rich8037 2 года назад

No and no. 'Gas safe' only applies if you're doing work on the actual gas supply parts, or right inside the boiler casing.

@MustPassTruck 4 года назад

How do you filter non metallic dirt from system?

@plumberparts 4 года назад

You'd need a spiral area at the bottom of the filter. These still do a good job on non metallic too.

@popandu1170 4 года назад

I think the Fernox Omega filter cleans non metals from the system

@liliyagill2730 4 года назад

Thanks for the info ! If one using the Magneclean , can it be done without any inhibitors flashed into the pipes ? And would it save the neighbours downstairs from the water flood in case the corrosion is on the unprotected copper pipes in the concrete ? Thanks ever so much in advance

@momalik1931 7 лет назад

Brilliant

@chriswhitehead6095 6 лет назад

Could i use MC3 cleaner with the magnaclean filter and then finish off with the inhibitor, or is MC3 just for use with the magnacleanse system?

@mirola73 5 лет назад

Any cleaner goes, don't believe all you're fed by the manufacturers. Of course they always talk shop, their shop that is.

@covertnarcissistawareness2766 6 лет назад

I have this exact same filter but I m experiencing a very slight leak is there a way of stopping this leak from the filter perhaps by tightening something on it ?

@plumberparts 6 лет назад

Where's the leak coming from mate? Hope the engineer left the filter wrench there!

@covertnarcissistawareness2766 6 лет назад

plumberparts No i don’t think that they actually left the filter wrench here from what I was looking at from your video I reckon when it was installed they took the the filter wrenches with em it’s actually coming from the top bit where its screwed on to the body that u unscrewed using the large wrench I reckon it needs tightening but they left nothing behind and took box and instructions with em and by the look of it the wrenches too do u know how to get replacement wrenches by any chance mate and I ve always watched your videos it’s been very helpful and I was able to fit a whole bathroom suite myself due to your helpful advice so thanks for that much appreciated

@plumberparts 6 лет назад

Ok mate, best thing to do is turn system off, shut the MagnaClean valves, remove that top lid, make sure there's no debris underneath using a cloth, shut lid and tighten with a large set of grips, then open....should be ok!

@covertnarcissistawareness2766 6 лет назад

plumberparts thanks a lot for the advice will try that as you instructed appreciated cheers

@covertnarcissistawareness2766 6 лет назад

I did as you instructed also cleaned the muck off the magnet etc and put back and think I have now sorted that leak from the filter been keeping an eye on it all and so far so good seems to be bone dry thanks again for the advice mate appreciated

@williamreidy862 5 лет назад

@SousTerre1 5 лет назад

Are you thinking it’s a whole unit for the key? If so it’s a key organiser you can get them from keysmart and other places. The bleed key is just an ordinary one fitted to this. I don’t think plumb parts realised you were asking about that rather than just the bleed key.
