1.1 GEnERaL
The Mag One magnetic central heating filter is the ideal solution
to costly and unnecessary system breakdowns caused by both
magnetic and non-ferrous particulate in fluid based systems.
Thanks to its innovative triple action magnetic filtration system,
it identifies and retains all types of magnetite and non-ferrous
debris.
The Mag One magnetic central heating filter can be used on
all types of central heating systems in any orientation and it is
recommended, for maximum effect, that it be installed on the
return leg of the circuit, between the last radiator and the boiler/
heat pump.
The isolating flat face ball valves, provided with the magnetic filter,
make maintenance and installation quick and simple.
As well as being fitted in conjunction with the installation of a new
system, the Mag One magnetic filter is well suited to being retro-
fitted to an existing system where the boiler/heat pump is being
replaced – protecting new components and increasing the life
span and effectiveness of existing ones.
1.2 HOW a MaGnEtiC FiLtER
WORKs
Through a combination of innovative product design and a
clever use of the laws of physics, water is guided through the
components of the Mag One to achieve maximum filtration with
each pass of the circuit.
Water enters the filter through our ingenious diverter block and
then passes into the magnetic filter 500 ml capacity pressure drop
chamber.
Here, particulate is forced through the non-ferrous filter and down
towards the magnet. Through a process of natural convection,
water then circulates back to the top of the filter and back into the
system leaving all magnetite and particulate debris captive at the
base of the filter’s magnetic core.
All system contaminants are then easily removed during servicing
by isolating the Mag One from the system and removing the
magnet from the screw cap at the top of the pot then opening the
drain valve, removing the majority of contaminants within the pot
in seconds.
