Corrosion affects all central heating systems over time causing boiler breakdowns and central heating system component failures with expensive repairs to follow.
Magnetite is the official name of system sludge, it's made up from Iron Oxide the result of a chemical reaction between the different metals and air ingress into the system. 96% of system sludge is magnetic and up to 250 grams of sludge.
Below are a few images of what we have been finding inside our customers systems.
The main benefits of fitting a magnetic filter to the central heating system is an improvement in its efficiency. System sludge creates cold spots on radiators which reduces the heat output of the panelled convector. It also increases the time taken to heat your home meaning your boiler is on for longer periods, increasing heating bills. By removing these cold spots we are returning the system back to its original designed state.
Once the magnetic filter has been fitted by our heating engineers, there will be an immediate ongoing protection to your central heating system. Cleaned annually when having your boiler serviced insures that what ever has been picked up by the filter over the year will be cleaned and removed. Extending the life of your pipework, boiler and radiators.
Enhance Your Central Heating System with a Magnetic Filter
Installing a magnetic filter in your central heating system offers a range of significant benefits, primarily enhancing its efficiency. Over time, system sludge accumulates and creates cold spots on radiators, which reduces the heat output of the panelled convector. This inefficiency means your home takes longer to heat, causing your boiler to run for extended periods and leading to higher heating bills. By eliminating these cold spots, a magnetic filter helps restore your system to its optimal performance, as originally designed.
Immediate and Long-Term Benefits
Once our skilled heating engineers install the magnetic filter, your central heating system will experience immediate and ongoing protection. This innovative device captures and removes the sludge and debris that can impair your system and boiler's efficiency.
Annual Maintenance for Continued Efficiency
To ensure your system remains in peak condition, the magnetic filter should be cleaned annually during your boiler service. This routine maintenance ensures that any particles collected over the year are thoroughly removed, further protecting your pipework, boiler, and radiators. Regular cleaning extends the lifespan of your heating components, ensuring they operate efficiently for years to come.
Key Benefits of a Magnetic Filter
- Enhanced Efficiency: Removes sludge that causes cold spots, ensuring radiators heat up evenly and quickly.
- Reduced Heating Bills: With improved heat distribution and faster heating times, your boiler runs for shorter periods, lowering energy costs.
- Prolonged System Lifespan: Annual cleaning of the magnetic filter protects and extends the life of your heating system components.
- Consistent Performance: Maintains your heating system at its optimal design state, providing reliable and efficient heating.
