Janus Water Heaters

[diamondgas]

Hi peeps,

For the past 2 years I've had to remove the hex on a Janus 3 and clean out the build up of debris inside. 22mm F&R with a 7yr old Direct Cyl fitted in Airing cupboard directly above. It's a common issue I've dealt with for years with w/air circulators. However I was just wondering whether any of you have heard of any kind of filter or collectors that can be fitted in-line? It'd save a lot of grief I'd imagine if it was just a matter of isolating and cleaning that out rather than having to strip the whole circulator down! This is not a hard water area by-the-way!

I'm there tomorrow so I'll see if I can get some pics to show you...!

Any thoughts :lightbulb: in the mean time will be appreciated ... :smart:

could you use a magna clean on this setup?im not familiar with the name

I thought of a magna but then I thought it'd restrict the gravity circulation too much and the valves and such would block relatively quickly I'd imagine. Cheers though! The Janus is the circulator you find in side a warmair unit ...

How about a strainer like this Check Valves & Strainers & Drain Cocks

mfgs, that might be the ticket Maybe even put an 1 1/4" and bush it down! Cheers. Will have to check out space within the unit but that might do the job!
