Been a big fan of the Trappex Centramag 2 for some time and finally have my hands on the new Genesis filter.

All brass construction and with a 25 year warranty it certainly looks the part, solid but compact.

Initial impression out the box is positive. 2 part construction with a triple seal between installation manifold and main body.

Strong magnet and also removes non magnetic debris.

More to come shortly once I get it installed.

Looks similar to the fernox omega so it comes down to price what sort of figure are we talking ?

£55 to £60, not seen the fernox omega.

Edit.
Just had a quick look. No valves with the fernox unit.

You can have the omega with or without the valves Simon good for tight installations without valves , trappex unit looks well made for the price . Kop

I am going Trappex on my next install, the fact it removes non-metalic as well makes it a winner .
Does the Omega remove non-metallic debris ?

No air vent on it but doesn't need one, not clear from the pictures I took before but no place for air to get trapped.

The bit sticking up is the magnet.

Neither at the minute. Been a big fan of the Centramag and have used a fair few.

Got this one to have a look at and do a review and you tube video. It's going in on an install next week.

Ongoing I'm hoping that heating world of spares will stock them.

Over a year on and no review update one must assume it did not fit or perform very well.

Yes , it fits the new version but Trappex will be releasing a bespoke flushing adapter in June.
