Can't say I like the Honeywell one either - have one here as it happens sitting in its box.

Which is where it should stay
Seriously though, why can't someone make one in white?

When customer is not too enthusiastic about a mag, we use these ones quite often. They do the job.

Dilalio really glad I seen this post, I change a pump on a logic during the week and used the filter to drain the boiler, when I went to pressurise there was no bleed point in the lid of the filter , I havent seen this before and it could have been the Grasslin one that you sent a link for , everything was working fine but filter was a bit noisy and customer didnt have the supplied large nut key key , i was just going to release the air by slackening the filter nut, I told customer that if it was still noisy next day to call me and I would go back with a key but havent heard from them so how do you bleed these ?

You could buy a proper filter for that

Like I said... They do the job AND they're on the shelf in our shop... Next to the magnaclean!

Glad it helped you.
I agree - they could do with a MAV at the top but I just use the cap if needed! I used a this mag the other day to dose the system with inhibitor - the grasslin drain off was very helpful

Why can't someone make one that's see through? Makes total sense to me to make a clear filter. But so far I haven't seen any clear filters that I would touch with a bargepole

 

[dilalio]

Took one off the other week that turned out to be clear - after I realised it was black through dirt!
Was it a Fernox? Can't remember! Had to be mounted horizontally as it had a 'whale's belly' sump and had Spring clips to hold it together... Was a POS but was ancient!

 

[TCCHeating]

One of these?

I too have had the pleasure of coming across this abomination!

 

[dilalio]

Beat me to it

Fernox boiler buddy... My aarse

Fecking horrible things they were.

Magnaclean Twintech was a bit of a disaster too in my experience.

I tried to clean one of those damn things once.. After several cuts and 20mins I chucked it in the bin and changed it to a Spirotech with a tiny bit of pipe to make up the gap.
