Another breakthrough in system flushing

MagnaCleanse represents another breakthrough in power-flushing and is suitable for all domestic central heating systems. ADEY recommends it as best practice in ongoing system maintenance and protection. It delivers immediate benefits for installer and homeowner.

The following installation instructions are designed to assist engineers in the safe and effective installation of MagnaClean filters and subsequent MagnaCleanse operation. Any queries, please contact ADEY direct on 01242 546700. Our Customer Care Team will be happy to assist.

Typical installation

	Standard domestic central heating system set-up.
	Erratic and noisy system performance with radiator cold spots.
	System water contamination with heavily sludged radiators.
	Contaminated water circulates causing magnetite build-up throughout the system, leading to boiler damage and eventual failure.

Having completed all relevant preliminary electrical safety checks to boiler and pipework confirming safe isolation and earth path, isolate central heating system and drain.

Identify location for installation of MagnaClean filter. Prepare pipework, installing MagnaClean copper elbows and isolation valves supplied. N.B. Refer to MagnaClean installation instructions.

 Having completed the installation of the MagnaClean, remove the filter and attach the MagnaCleanse hoses between the PowerFlushing Filter and the MagnaClean isolation valves on the pipework.

Turn off isolation valves to the PowerFlushing Filter. Loosen and remove the lid assembly from one of the PowerFlushing Filter canisters.

Add recommended cleanser to the system via the PowerFlushing Filter canister.

Partly re-fill the central heating system ensuring the radiators are only half-full. Check for leaks.

Turn on heating system (all radiators open) for 15 minutes. The radiators should be hot at the bottom, cold at the top. Check filters if required.

Turn off any by-pass valves and all the radiators leaving only one radiator open at a time. With the system running, agitate each radiator using ADEY’s VibraClean tool attached to a standard SDS drill for 15–20 seconds.

Continue the VibraClean radiator agitation to dislodge any sludge deposits until the return hose to the PowerFlushing Filter runs clear (usually 5 minutes).

Isolate and clean the PowerFlushing Filter as required. Using Personal Protective Equipment i.e. gloves and paper towels, wipe off any magnetite into a bucket or waste bag and dispose of correctly. When satisfied, open up the next radiator, then turn off the treated radiator and repeat the process until all radiators are clean.

Once the MagnaCleanse process has been completed, fill the system radiators from half-full removing all air. For sealed systems, check the system pressure and increase to 1 bar if required. Run for 10 minutes full with all radiators open, then drain the whole system.

Disconnect hoses and remove the PowerFlushing Filter. Re-attach the MagnaClean domestic filter to the isolation valves.

Add a recommended inhibitor into the canister i.e. use the Pro-Fill bleed valve or remove canister lid assembly and pour into the filter (holds approximately half a litre). Open up the isolation valves and remove any air.

Turn on the system and re-set controls to the customer requirements. Open any by-pass valves previously closed.

Commission the system following the manufacturer’s instructions. Before leaving the property, carry out the last job – Service the MagnaClean filter ensuring a final check is carried out for leaks.
