Hi All

Permit me to introduce you to the the Johnson Magnetic Filter.

Designed and built in the UK by registered gas engineer Neil Johnson, from Mansfield in Notts.

There are a lot of filters on the market, and this one is not the cheapest, so is there room for another product? Neil thinks so. He believes that his in-line design, manufactured to a high standard in the UK from copper and brass (no plastic in sight!) and backed by a seven year warranty, will make his filter the choice of professionals everywhere.

They come in two capacities - the [DLMURL="http://www.tradeonlyplumbing.co.uk/johnson-magnetic-pipe-filter-120.html"]120mm inline version[/DLMURL] (total length 275mm) for smaller systems or systems with light corrosion:

or a [DLMURL="http://www.tradeonlyplumbing.co.uk/johnson-magnetic-pipefilter-220.html"]220mm inline version[/DLMURL] (total length 375mm) for larger systems

You can see a video here, but please note that the horrible pump valves have been replaced now with high quality butterfly valves.

Now here's the freebie bit.

Paddy, our heating category manager, quite likes the concept, but has some reservations about whether Neil has a winning product, or just a good idea. The difference between the two is hard to determine until you actually get some product out into the field. So he asked me to put half a dozen out on the forum as a trial, and to get user reviews. His decision whether to stock the product will be strongly influenced by the feedback we get from the professional plumbers on this forum.

I understand that everyone likes a freebie. But Neil Johnson isn't an rich company with a huge marketing budget. Also, we have been bitten in the past by people who grab freebies and then either don't review them, or maybe don't have an appropriate job come up.

So this is a freebie with a difference. The difference is, it isn't free at this point. To qualify, you have to buy one (we have 2 x 120mm and 4 x 220mm). For the first 6 qualifying people to post a sensible and helpful review on this forum NO LATER than Sunday 19th July 2015, we will refund the cost of the unit, including VAT and any carriage charge*. But if you don't post a review by that date, we won't have wasted a freebie.

The review does not have to be positive, but it does need to be constructive, and reasonably detailed. If you don't like something about it, just tell us honestly. Equally, if its brilliant, feel free to say so, but your observations and reasons are as important as your judgement.

If you want to be involved, make your purchase at our online store here:
[DLMURL="http://www.tradeonlyplumbing.co.uk/johnson-magnetic-pipe-filter-120.html"]
120mm version[/DLMURL]

[DLMURL="http://www.tradeonlyplumbing.co.uk/johnson-magnetic-pipefilter-220.html"]220mm version[/DLMURL] ( ihave just noticed that we are using the same image for both - please note that the 220mm version is a little longer - see the pic higher up this thread.)

FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS REVIEW FREEBIE, YOU MUST PURCHASE IT FROM OUR WWW.TRADEONLYPLUMBING.CO.UK STORE, NOT FROM NEIL'S WEBSITE. YOU MUST ALSO HAVE A FORUM GAS-SAFE BADGE, OR A PUB MEMBER BADGE, OR HAVE MORE THAN 100 POSTS AT THE TIME OF THE REVIEW.

www.tradeonlyplumbing.co.uk is a trade only site and requires registration to see prices or make purchases. Using your gassafe number can speed up registration, and in many cases will allow instant access to the website.


*all freebies or refunds are at our absolute discretion and we reserve the right to change any of the terms and conditions of this promotion without notice.

Inline filter is a great idea just wish they were shorter. When fitting most heat only boilers there's rarely enough room to get them fitted above the boiler. It looks neat enough tho.

First time I'm first on a freebie and it's not a freebie.

I've currently got a magnaboost fitted at home and would have swapped ot out. I'll sit tight for the next one..

Pictures look good though
 
Re: Sponsored thread: Johnson Magnetic Filters. Freebies available for honest reviewe

Have just watched the video, the first thing I see is that you have to dismantle the product with tools to clean, unlike others where it's isolate, remove cap, clean magnet, refit cap, turn on valves, it's also quite narrow, so I wouldn't like to use on an old dirty system.
On the plus side if fitted to a new system I think this would be ideal, low profile, not as unsightly as some of the larger items.
Time will tell.

Dont have anything coming up that I could use it on at the moment. Looking forward to the reviews though.
 
Re: Sponsored thread: Johnson Magnetic Filters. Freebies available for honest reviewe

looks good and quite competitively priced but not got anything coming up i could use one on
 
Re: Sponsored thread: Johnson Magnetic Filters. Freebies available for honest reviewe

Good look .
Filter market very competitive .
 
Re: Sponsored thread: Johnson Magnetic Filters. Freebies available for honest reviewe

looks to be to much hassle to clean in my simple mind, if pump connectors are anything to go buy, I would expect leaks in the medium term.
