Hi all
I would like to fit a magnaclean but am slightly unsure about locating in an open / vented system
Have looked at magnaclean installation instructions and it recommends “not before vent” http://www.adeysolutions.co.uk/subprofessional.asp?id=248
Checked the forum [great forum] here and lots of advice seems to say on return from rads and before boiler. Guess thinking is to catch the corrosion rubbish from rads before enters boiler. My problem is I cannot gain access to return as boiler is wall mounted in kitchen [close to ceiling] and supply / return pipes go directly in to upstairs floor space. Supply from boiler enters [from floor space] airing cupboard where pump, three way valve, vent and feed are all located. There is room [at a push] to locate filter after pump and before three way [port A/B on honeywell 4073a]. This would put it after the vent but before the rads – would this be okay
Should say, my boiler is kettling – I cleaned system with DS40 few years back and it really worked. Shifted lots of black deposits [they would stick to a magnetic screwdriver] and quietened the boiler but what a messy job. Unfortunately, noise is gradually returning so may have to do it again
May try some F2 Boiler Noise Silencer first – fingers crossed
My thinking is that even if I end up with a new boiler the magnaclean is still worth having.
Thanks D
