Magnacleanse set up and installing a magnaclean Day in the life of a plumber EP13 

Great video as always 👍 love how you show when things don't go smooth, the real life of plumber's

Behind the pump between F&E and pump is the neutral point. So I’d say it’s the best place for the filter to go 👍. The boiler return is still under positive pressure

Very informative....really interesting

Just watched the video. Sweep tees in-line with the flow will allow the heat

Hello... how's the going.. not being a pain.. only a bit of a tip use an old towel to protect radiators when you agitate ,so you save the rads from being damaged.. invest in a thermal camera 📸 , so you can see radiator ,hot and cold and spots... and it all so helps when balancing rad systems...

Excellent thanks mate. Quick question where would you fit the magnacleanse on a combi if there was the same issues you had. No filter and no room to fit one.

Good luck on the rads 🙏 Been there 😢

Hi mate. I noticed you didn't show the cold flush part. Did you link the cold main to cold feed for the mains flush. It may have heped with filing back up and avoiding the air locks.

I’d be cutting out and repipe the open vent and feed as it’s likely heavily restricted with magnatite in that area, stick a magnet on it. One pipes are a nightmare, good luck and thanks for the vid👊

❤

Top work mate I know it sounds mad but have you tried x800 it's abit more fast acting plus the vent and fill looks abit to far away from pump sometimes can be the cause of sludge keep up the good work 😎👍😎👍😎👍😎👍👍😎

What I used to do was put a gate valve on the cylinder return so you can isolate it , much like a rad. Then I would remove the header tank & loop out the cold feed to the open vent with some hep & gate valve so you can flush both CF & OV biggest issue in open vent systems. I use x800 sentinel as its faster acting imo. Double dose if need be. Would of been better using a power flush machine then reverse flow it. With a one pipe system often or not when trying to flush, it bypasses the rad altogether. The connections on a one pipe tend to be sweep tees as opposed to standard tees & back in the 70's they'd use top bottom opposite on the rad connections so the flow through it would be better. Another thing that can happen is when a rad is closed it can stop the flow altogether through the system. That might be the reason why those rads don't work . One pipe systems are a nightmare and you only have to look at them for them not work 🙈 Great explanation about the maganacleanse 👍 Look forward to finding out why those rads don't work.

Boilers in the kicken😂😂😂put some silicon grease on your magnaclean spigots 🤠

think you would have had better results if you had gone for the powerflush rather than trying to lift the debris into the filter in the loft with the circulating pump and you could have reversed the flow 👍

Don’t worry mate it happens to the best of us

All my stop taps either dont close fully are ridiculous hard to turn, they dont ages well at all 2:07

You can only do your best given what you've got I always double dose with quality inhibitor, you can't go wrong. Sadly, back in the 60s,70s and 80's the ballvalve was often fitted in that position. The reasoning was based on the expansion tank being just that!, the water level would be set low to allow for for expansion. The ballvalve 's should have been fitted as per convention, but you can see the thinking, the water level would have been set very low.

That cylinder needs insulation.

With it being a one pipe system you wont get the black water you would expect from vibra cleaning the rads as the pump doesnt actualy pump through the rads it pumps round the pipe under neath. Thats my understanding of it anyway.
