Overview

The MagnaClean Professional2XP is a hydronic heating system filter designed to protect larger residential systems by capturing debris. It is engineered for bi-directional flow and features 360° rotational valves, offering multiple installation options for both vertical and horizontal pipework, ensuring flexibility in various working environments.

Function Description

The primary function of the MagnaClean Professional2XP is to remove magnetic and non-magnetic debris from hydronic heating systems. By filtering out these contaminants, it helps prevent blockages and wear on system components, thereby improving efficiency and extending the lifespan of the boiler and other parts. The filter is designed to be installed anywhere before the boiler, with the recommended best practice being after the last radiator and before the boiler. This placement allows for optimal protection and facilitates system flushing using a MagnaCleanse on the return line.

Usage Features

The MagnaClean Professional2XP is suitable for both open-vented and combi/sealed systems. Its bi-directional flow design allows for flexible installation, accommodating tight spaces. The filter includes a strong magnet for capturing magnetic particles, which is a key component of its cleaning action. Users are cautioned to keep the filter away from electrical devices, bank cards, and other magnetic items due to the strength of this magnet. Individuals with pacemakers should exercise particular caution when handling the device.

Installation involves cutting and removing a section of pipework using a supplied measurement guide sticker, which is then used with the valve assembly. The valves are designed for easy integration into existing pipework. After installation, the system should always be re-dosed with a suitable protector, such as ADEY MC1+ Hydronic Heating System Protector, to maintain system health. The device operates under pressure, and users must release pressure before servicing. It can also become hot during operation, requiring careful handling.

Maintenance Features

Regular servicing of the MagnaClean Professional2XP is crucial for its effective operation. Maintenance involves several steps:

  1. Turning off valves and venting: Before any servicing, the system valves must be turned off, and the filter vented to release pressure.
  2. Draining: A drain plug is removed to allow the system fluid to drain.
  3. Lid removal: The lid assembly is removed to access the internal components.
  4. Cleaning the sleeve: The internal sleeve, which collects debris, is removed and cleaned. This typically involves rinsing it under water to remove accumulated sludge.
  5. Replacing the drain plug: After cleaning, the drain plug is replaced, ensuring it is not overtightened.
  6. Dosing with protector: Once the filter is reassembled, the system is dosed with a suitable protector, such as ADEY MC1+ Protector, through the filter housing.
  7. Hand tightening and final tightening: The lid is hand-tightened, followed by a final quarter-turn maximum tightening. It is crucial not to overtighten the lid.
  8. Turning on valves and venting: The valves are turned back on, and the system is vented again to remove any trapped air.
  9. Wiping the filter dry: The exterior of the filter should be wiped dry.

During servicing, the lid seal (O-ring) should be cleaned and checked for wear. It is best practice to replace the lid seal at each service to ensure a proper seal. Only silicon grease or water should be used to lubricate the O-ring; flux or EP grease should not be used. The instructions emphasize the importance of following electrical and safety standards during installation, ensuring pipework is appropriately earth-bonded on either side of the filter. For the most up-to-date instructions and warranty information, users are directed to the ADEY website.
