FAQs
How often should the filter be cleaned?
Cleaning frequency depends on system usage and water quality. A visual check every 3-6 months is recommended, with cleaning typically required annually or when debris is noticeable.
Does this filter remove air from the system?
Yes, the Intaklean Magnetic Filter 2 includes a function to help separate and remove trapped air from the circulating system fluid.
What is the key difference from a standard magnetic filter?
This filter features a triple-action system, including a unique double gauze non-ferrous filter in addition to the magnetic core, providing broader protection against different types of system debris.
Can I install this myself?
While installation involves standard plumbing, it is recommended that the filter is installed by a qualified professional to ensure correct fitting and system integrity.
What size pipework is this filter suitable for?
This filter is designed for 22mm central heating pipework.
Will this filter stop all system breakdowns?
The filter significantly reduces the risk of breakdowns caused by magnetic and non-ferrous particulates, but it does not prevent all possible system failures.
Troubleshooting
Reduced heating performance after installation
Check that the filter is correctly installed and not restricting flow. Ensure the filter is not blocked if recently installed.
Filter appears to be leaking
Verify all connections are secure and seals are properly seated. If the leak persists, contact a professional plumber.
System pressure dropping
Ensure the filter is not clogged, which could impede flow. Check for any leaks in the system, including the filter connections.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Intaklean Magnetic Filter - 22mm is designed to be installed onto 22mm central heating pipework. It should be fitted by a qualified professional to ensure correct orientation and secure connections, typically on the return pipework before the boiler.
