[giarc00007]

been to price up heating job today. customers doesnt want to see any pipes so using stand off kit. Problem i have is wanting to put a decent filter on system but with pipes going up behind boiler and its going to be in tight cupboard and no room above boiler. any suggestions on fitting filter else where?

i was thinking of not fitting one, its just i always like too. but i might have no option to be honest

if it is a clean ( or flushed clean system ) and piped up correctly it should be ok. You'll know the system if you checked it over so you'll obviously need to be the judge of that one.

I can only speak from my experience, in my neck of the woods of course, water is good here so when things are done proper and system is clean there's little corrosion.

Did they not used to make an inline filter ?

Can you fit it in the airing cupboard or on flow or return somewhere else, better to fit one than not.

Would custard rather see pipes or have manufacturer say warranty is void as no filter fitted.

Good point !
Some manufacturers can be funny and if there's any sign mucky water on a warranty job, you could be up the creak.
Have a look at the liff lime fighter 2 online. See if that will do what you want it to

It may not be lime fighting you're after and I haven't studied what else this filter does but it has a magnet I think. It was more the size and shape I was thinking, these fit under floors easy.
The downside is that I'm sure you need to swap the complete thing when it's used up.
Sorry if I'm waffling!!

I've got about 250mm gap from top of boiler to ceiling. It's just access to a filter if I could get one in.
