INTRODUCTION

Today, high efficiency boilers offer excellent performance for heating systems, 

however this performance can be eroded significantly if little attention is 

given to the cleanliness of the complete central heating system. Historically 

the majority of systems suffer from iron oxide contamination, which takes the 

form of sludge deposits which are caused by corrosion of the heating system.
The iron oxide particles vary in size and the sub-micron particles are present 

in the system fluid continuously during system operation. The oxide particles 

can cause premature failure of valves and pumps and boiler efficiency is 

reduced dramatically as the particles contaminate the boilers heat exchanger, 

and the complete system pipework.
The SALUS Mag Defender offers system protection and increased efficiency, 

as it has been designed to remove the suspended iron oxide particles without 

reducing flow rate through the system.
Installation is simple; isolation valves rotate 360º so a number of location 

options can be facilitated. 
An added advantage to installers is the bottom mounted valve for servicing. 

Once isolated the bottom valve allows the easy discharge of contaminants. 

The main body is 500mL, which allows the installer to add the correct amount 

of corrosion inhibitor when the isolation valves are closed.
