Product Information

Full details

The Fernox TF1 Complete System Filter is designed for homeowners and professionals looking to maintain the efficiency and longevity of their central heating systems. Its primary benefit is the capture of magnetite and debris, preventing sludge build-up and protecting boiler components. A key consideration is its requirement for direct inline installation into 22mm pipework, meaning it's not a simple add-on for all systems.

FAQs

What size pipe does the Fernox TF1 Complete System Filter fit?

The TF1 Complete System Filter is designed exclusively for 22mm pipework.

Do I need to replace seals or O-rings?

No, the TF1 features a sealed, lidless design, meaning there are no separate seals or O-rings to replace during maintenance.

How often should I clean the filter?

The frequency of cleaning depends on the system's condition. It's generally recommended to check and flush the filter every 6 to 12 months, or more often if the system is known to have significant sludge build-up.

Can I install this filter myself?

The filter requires cutting into existing pipework. While competent DIY users may be able to install it, professional installation by a qualified heating engineer is recommended to ensure correct and safe fitting.

What is the purpose of the chemical dosing adaptor?

The adaptor allows for quick and easy dosing of water treatment chemicals, such as system cleaners or inhibitors, directly into the central heating system via the filter's drain valve.

Can the filter be installed horizontally?

Yes, the TF1 can be installed in multiple orientations, including horizontally and vertically, and up to 45 degrees from vertical, provided there is adequate clearance.

What does the 'HPS' action refer to?

HPS stands for Hydronic Particle Separation. This is the system's method of directing contaminated water flow to efficiently transfer debris to the filter's magnet assembly.

Troubleshooting

Filter is leaking

Ensure all connections are secure and properly tightened. Check that the isolation valves are fully closed when servicing. If leakage persists from the main body, contact the manufacturer.

Reduced water flow after installation

Verify the filter was installed in the correct flow direction. Check if the filter requires cleaning by opening the drain valve to release debris.

Difficulty opening the drain valve

Ensure no debris is obstructing the valve. Use a firm, steady pressure on the integrated handle.

No debris collected after several weeks

This may indicate a very clean system. Continue to monitor and clean periodically as part of routine maintenance.

Can add an extra component that needs periodic checks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Ensure the central heating system is powered off and has cooled down.
Drain a small amount of water from the system to allow for pipe cutting.
Cut the existing 22mm pipework at the desired installation location.
Install the Fernox TF1 filter in line, ensuring the flow direction arrow on the unit matches the system's water flow.
Connect the filter using the provided full bore isolation valves and appropriate fittings for 22mm pipe.
Ensure the filter can be accessed for future cleaning and has adequate clearance.
Once installed, refill the system and bleed radiators.

Compatibility:

Pipe Size: Strictly compatible with 22mm pipework only.
System Type: Designed for domestic central heating systems.

Care:

Regular Cleaning: Periodically open the drain valve (using the integrated handle) to flush out captured debris. Frequency depends on system condition, but checking every 6-12 months is recommended.
Chemical Dosing: Use the included adaptor to dose water treatment chemicals as per manufacturer instructions.
Visual Inspection: Check isolation valve handles and the drain valve for any signs of leakage. The sealed design means no lid or seal replacement is typically required.
