Freebie Alert - Altecnic 22mm dirtmag IQ

[Ray Stafford]

Evening all.

Please read ALL the way to the end of the post before responding!

Tonights freebie is the 22mm Dirtmag IQ, courtesy of Mr Steve Boyd at Altecnic <cue round of applause>

You may only request a freebie if you commit to using the product, and then writing a review in the "product review" section of this forum. The review does not have to be positive, but any criticisms should be as constructive as possible.

The following members are not eligible, because they have received freebies in previous promotions but have not posted a review: Plumber0808, Jase, Mutley, KillyBing, Croppie or IDChappy.

The Dirtmag (apart from having a name that reminds me of some of the magazines of my youth in the 1970s) is positioned at the budget end of the filter spectrum and we will be selling it to the trade for £44.95 + VAT. However Altecnic are a reputable manufacturer, and make some strong performance claims.


To claim one of 6 freebies, PM me you real name and postal address. I don't care if I already have your address - you must type it in full to qualify, otherwise its not a level playing field. PMs without the full name and address will not count.

If you snooze, you loose...

I would love a good old fashioned dirt mag. All the streaming **** in net is boring me

Had these off Graham's last summer I think wasn't very impressed but at £40 the seem better. Does job , system blocked it in about 10 mins .

[Billy Bob Bob]

My sentiments exactly.

to rub salt in the wound lame was faster than you,he did soil himself in beating you though

 

[Scott_D]

Thanks Ray!!
Just watching the video in the link. Anyone fitted one?

 

[kris]

My mobile phones warm with all the tinternet action and i near smashed the glass screen on the speed of that typing...

 

[Nostrum]

Timed having a poo all wrong.

 

[Ray Stafford]

all gone!

 

[Masood]

Damn, too slow!

But are they any good Ray? At that price if they work they're a no-brainer...

 

[lame plumber]

not true, last did a runner 30 mins back, am truly empty at present, just massive cramps to cheer me up!!

 

[Ray Stafford]

But are they any good Ray?

That, my dear Mas, is the whole point of getting you lot to review them! You wouldn't believe me if I said they were good would you?

I have a feeling that, like most things in life, you get what you pay for. But not every customer can afford top quality gear, and I suspect that any filter is a lot better than no filter at all - so long as it doesnt leak. I would be surprised if an Altecnic product leaked.

 

[kris]

Did i see the altechnic new one in this months gas safe mag . The page where they show you companies new products. Im sure it was.. or couldve been spiro

 

[lame plumber]

just to cheer up the losers, guess who's been shown the spare room tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[kris]

How did we ever manage without em eh. Mind u 28mm takes longer to fur up.

 

[jase158]

still haven't fitted my timer!!! need to sort that out and do review otherwise no more freebies for me!!!

 

[lame plumber]

I like the look of the integral flow/return which may mean less leaks

 

[CES]

just to cheer up the losers, guess who's been shown the spare room tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wet room is it lame?

 

[Ermintrude]

Thanks Ray!!

Yes got one foc from Graham's it's performance was similar to a spirotec- but it's not scrap bucket friendly

 

[kris]

At least it has a removable magnet . Not so keen on non magnetised ones . Only thing has this one isolators on it as i couldnt see from pics looked at.?

 

[lame plumber]

Wet room is it lame?

hope not, still I can snore to my hearts content tonight.

 

[mfgs]

I'm looking forward to trying this out, if it works well it will be an ideal option when fitting cheaper boilers for landlords etc.

 

[Scott_D]

Looks like they are an extra you can buy, also a hose for cleaning/maintenance

 

[Ray Stafford]

Yes, the version that we are selling does have butterfly iso valves. It is also on sale in a version without them, but it only saved about £3, which I thought was little enough for a pair of reasonably decent valves.

 

[Ray Stafford]

if it works well it will be an ideal option when fitting cheaper boilers for landlords etc.

Yes, thats the sector that we see it selling into. Hard to persuade someone who only wants to stump up £399 for a boiler to pay nearly 100 notes for a filter that they don't even understand why they need it.

Knackers I've missed it. Although I've got a stash of dirt mags under the bed so not too fussed. I've had a shed load of dissarono tonight. Absolutely wasted and it's not even 11pm. I'm off for some loving and a glass of water. Night all!
