What is a Magnetic Filter? 

A magnetic filter is a device installed on the pipework of a central heating system, typically beneath the boiler. It is designed to capture sludge and debris circulating within the system. By utilising powerful magnets, the filter traps magnetite and other metallic contaminants, preventing them from accumulating and causing blockages or damage. 

ADEY, the industry leader in magnetic filters and manufacturer of the MagnaClean magnetic filter, reports that their product can save homeowners up to 70% on gas usage and improve radiator output by up to 47%. 

Why Do I Need a Magnetic Filter?

If you do have a magnetic filter, sludge will accumulate. This can lead to reduced efficiency, increased energy consumption, and potential system breakdowns. 

Sludge and debris can restrict water flow, leading to reduced boiler efficiency and increased energy consumption, meaning higher bills. Without a filter, a sludge build-up could lead to costly repairs and reduce your boiler’s lifespan. 

Installing a magnetic filter helps mitigate these issues by maintaining cleaner water circulation, leading to better performance and longevity from your boiler. 

How To Look After Your Magnetic Filter?

Magnetic filters need to be cleaned periodically (at least once a year) to remove any debris that has collected. 

Having a magnetic filter is a must-have for central heating systems, reducing heating bills and carbon emissions and increasing the longevity of your boiler.
