hi folks , i was at the OFTEC course today and an agent from adey solutions was in promoting their projects , one of them was the magnacleanse unit it seemed very impressive even more so than the powerflush units available , i myself have a pulsar powerflush unit but am now considering one of the magnacleanse units , by the looks of it it does a better job than the powerflush units and can be done quicker , also there is no power needed to run the unit and no water supply needed for the unit unlike the power flush units , im just wondering if anybody has any experiance with these units or what anybody thinks of them and if it would be worth buying one , also if you browse the website in the link below there is another unit ,i think its called the magnaclean professional , it also looks interesting , looking forward to hearing your opinions , thanks.

I have fitted them in the past and I would fit one as a given, why don't you keep your flushing kit and just add the powerflushing filter, then you have the best of both worlds, Gary.

How much did your course cost? Do they get subsidence with adverts?

Would be more familiar with the boiler buddy and would recommend them, at €125 al ot of clients don't go for them.

hi gary , when you say you have fitted them in the past are you talking about the fixed filter , i would be more interested in the portable cleaner , with no need for a power supply or a water supply there would be a lot less mess and setting up , and did you see the sludge that was collected in the video .

sorry micky , i should have given you a bit more info,
i did it through cheveron training in the green house in deansgrange buisness park

Was doing a course with one of the manufacturers and the guy said this gets rid of metal particals in systems.

You still have certain amounts of dirt left.

I think it looks the business ,but I wouldn't spend too much money on it yet.

they say that most 96% of the dirt in the heating system is made up of minute metal particals , i think this unit is around the 350plus vat mark , a couple of jobs would almost cover the cost

If it does the job ,it would be easier than powerflushing. I'm just use to flushing systems until the water is clean, I wonder how clean the water is when this machine is finished.

Yes, they have been around along time across the water, i would have used them for any installations or boiler exchanges, installation engineers i know who have fitted lots of them have reduced their callbacks, customers love them as they work like a dipstick to test how clean the system is and when they need to top up the inhibitor in the system then there is no drama, i think with the lack of inhibitor in heating systems and the amount of leaking systems that aren't going to hold on to inhibitor when it is added then i think they should be fitted as a must for a quite life.

The idea of this power free system sounds brilliant, it would be a lot easier to clear sludge from a boiler if you are using the boilers pump but the particles they are talking about which are called magnetite kill pumps and as the particles have a sandy consistency they block up boilers as the (gas) boilers have the smallest pipework on a heating system(unless it's micrbore:(). if there is reduced or no movement around the system then you'll be going back home for old faithfully.
I know installers who have added the filter to their power flushing kit and have massively improved cleaning times so there is a benefit to using it, but the kit you like i couldn't see it working on a lot of the boilers i come across until you deal with the blockage/defective pump first, Gary.

That machine would not remove the sludge from els where in the system like clogged up rads, were as a normal power flushing machine would blast it out. It also dose not remove scale build up inside radiators and pipe work. The heat out of old radiators after a power flush is great. They are like new.
