Hi:

I'm thinking to get a magna filter with my new boiler, just wondering the price for it? Is it high maintenace? Do I need to change it every few years?

Many Thanks

About €130-ish
Clean it during boiler service once a year
Should out live about 3 boilers . They say it's magnet loses 1% a year

Simple to clean, yourself or service eng. 3 miniute job.

3 minutes, exactly, so when your getting the boiler serviced, it should be part of the service, without additional charge

While on the subject of Mag Filters, does anyone have any particular preferences of one brand over the other, likes and dislikes?

I like the fernox tf1 but have had a lot of leaks out through the lid. Mangaclean is good but the valves are a bit awkward. Grant have one out now but it's a carbon copy of the pulsar model and it great to be honest. I'm actually surprised Grant put their name to it as I think pulsar stuff is inferior. Grant also have branded the pulsar G1000 series of inhibitors/cleaners as Grant1000 or something like that.

Nope. Didn't know they existed! I'll have a look
