A new magnetic filter for central heating systems is now available from Grant UK. The Grant Mag One DUO is a universal filter designed to give system protection for both traditional boiler and air source heat pump heating systems by preventing the build-up of non-ferrous debris and magnetite in the pipework.
The Mag One DUO filter, which is superseding the Vortex Mag One filter supplied by Grant UK, has a 12,000 gauss neodymium magnet and captures non-magnetic and magnetic debris that circulates within a heating system. Teh company says it is compatible with traditional fossil fuel systems, including oil-fired boilers, as well as low temperature air source heat pump systems. The new Mag One DUO can be installed as part of a new heating system or it can be retrofitted to an existing system.
The design of the Mag One DUO filter enables finer particle filtration by using a 500-micron mesh gauze to capture of non-ferrous debris. Using direct filtration, rather than a bypass, the company says that the Mag One DUO ensures that 100% of the circulated water must pass through its filter cartridge which in turn increases the overall filtration levels compared to the Vortex Mag One filter.
The Mag One DUO also has a larger diameter internal waterway which reduces pressure drop through the filter.
“The Mag One DUO is an effective magnetic filter that can suit many types of Grant heating system installations,” commented Andy Smith, National Sales Manager at Grant UK. “With an improved design, the Mag One DUO is not only a solution for protecting a Vortex oil-fired boiler but it is also compatible with all Aerona heat pump systems, giving installers one universal filter to suit many applications. Available to order on its own, the Mag One DUO filter will also be supplied in the air source heat pump installation packs.”
