Calmag magnetic filter blown off

[sammathias]

Had a call out earlier, leak through ceiling from boiler. There was a calmag magnetic filter which had blown completely off the threads which you unscrew to access the magnet. Baffling because id have expected it to be split/damaged.... Screwed it back on,topped pressure ran heating upto temperature and everything seems fine..

Has anyone had similar problem with magnetic filters?

Probably wasn't on correct if there was no sign of damage. Never used one myself always used Magna.

Yeh ive always used magna. Bloke said its been installed 8 months with no leaks at all. Then it blows off..not very reasuring isit! I did suggest him change it. Strange how the threads where all good.

Doesn't sound possible to blowoff and bit be damaged

The magna pro 2 is easy to fit and the fittings are good
