The MagnaClean Professional Heating System Filter 22 mm is a high-performance magnetic and dirt filter designed to protect central heating systems. It captures both ferrous (magnetic) sludge and non-magnetic debris from the circulating water, helping improve system efficiency, reduce breakdown risk, and prolong the life of boilers, pumps, and radiators.

Function & Purpose

This filter is installed inline on 22 mm pipework, usually on either the flow or return side of the heating system near the boiler or pump. As hot water circulates through the system, powerful internal magnets attract and retain ferrous particles such as rust and iron oxide. The internal chamber also slows the water flow and traps non-magnetic debris like scale and sediment. Periodically draining the filter removes the captured debris, helping keep the system water cleaner and the heating system running more efficiently.

Compatibility

The MagnaClean Professional filter is sized specifically for 22 mm central heating pipework, making it suitable for many domestic and light commercial heating systems that use this pipe diameter. It is compatible with combi, system, and conventional boilers when installed with the appropriate fittings and installation kit.

Design & Build Quality

The filter features a durable body and a robust magnetic assembly designed for long-term performance. The unit includes a conveniently positioned drain/flush valve that allows trapped debris to be purged without removing the filter from the system. The housing and connections are made from materials that withstand typical heating system pressures and temperature cycling.

Key Benefits

Installing a MagnaClean Professional filter helps improve heat transfer and circulation by removing debris that can cause blockages or reduce performance. Cleaner system water supports:

• More even heat distribution and fewer cold spots on radiators

• Quieter operation with less pump noise

• Reduced risk of boiler faults linked to debris build-up

• Lower servicing costs and extended equipment life

Ideal Applications

The MagnaClean Professional 22 mm filter is ideal for central heating installations where proactive protection against sludge and debris is needed. It is particularly beneficial:

• When commissioning a new system or after refurbishment

• In systems showing signs of sludge build-up or poor circulation

• As part of routine preventative maintenance

For best results, it should be installed and serviced by a qualified heating engineer to ensure correct positioning, flushing, and periodic cleaning.
