MagnaClean or something else?

[MRSWB]

I have a Baxi Duotech that was installed approx. 3 years ago with new rads throughout, but not pipes.

The heating exchange has been replaced 3 times so far and on the last occasion (today) for the first time I was told I need to get a MagnaClean.

Just done a quick online search, and they seem to vary wildly in price, and there are also a few brand options.

Just wondering if there is a 'most popular' on the market?

Welcome to the forum MRSWB I like the Magnaclean and have seen the Magnabooster3 which looks good but never fitted

hi and :welcome: mrswb i use magnabooster2 too will start to use magnabooster 3 too

 

[Simon F]

for ease of fitting the spirotech,
tf1 for dual cleaning options

I swear by magnacleans. But it seems to be down to personal preference. If you do go for a magna clean. Get the largest size. I think it's called a professional

Magnaclean for me

I don't know this particular boiler but three heat exchangers in three years seems incredibly excessive.
Maybe there is something fundamentally wrong with the installation causing unnecessary magnetite creation.

I have considered various options, for me it is the Magnabooster. Full brass construction, easier to fit, easy to clean (dont need to dismantle).

magnaclean for me, brilliant filter catches soooo much rubbish !

Fernox TF1

I have had issues with Magnaclean valves seizing and leaking.

 

[cdodds2004]

i have had issues with Tf1's leaking lol. earlier magnas had few issues had no issues with any in last year i dont think tf1 and magna are most effective and doing the job though imo

I know its very much personal preference but i'd like something that removes the amount of muck as the magna-clean, with the build quality of the spirotrap and the price of the MB1, am I asking too much?
