pls recommend me a filter to stop debris from mains water pipe blocking the shower

A inline strainer should do the job fine

 

[SafeGasInstall]

i have fitted one , but has failed and need more advanced one

Advanced in what respect stan? A filter that's more fine?

Advanced in what respect stan? A filter that's more fine?

that exactly what i am asking some one to recommend me a advanced filter compare to the strainer

Spirovent dirt separator, works on heating I'm sure it would work on mains water

man your mains water must be dirty

 

[Whn1]

Did you mention metal debris in an earlier post?

 

[SafeGasInstall]

Yes it was metal debris !
Luckily is not my water supply
its a large block of flats in central London

 

[Whn1]

Can any magnetic/strainer filters be used on mains water?

 

[Whn1]

Does the valve itself not ave a built in filter?

 

[SafeGasInstall]

I am to go back to job and fit new electrical shower now and fit a better filter , so need to be a good filter that will stop all debris going to new shower ! Must be someone that has fitted one and can recommend me one

I used to sell spirovent, they are amazing, they are not a filter as such but a separator down to 5 microns

SpiroTrap: Dirt Separator

they were specified and fitted on many many commercial and domestic applications, £560,000 worth in the best year in my area alone (that's a lot of units), dont sell them anymore so am clear of a vested interest

but just check with them for suitability on cold water application

Is a strainer like the do in toolstation any good? Cost about six quid.

If this is occuring in a block of flats - then the problem might not be with Thames
foul tasting liquid that purports to be h2o. :asshole: Its more likely the mains distribution
network in the block rotting out.

If its a housing association building - alert them. If its a private block with a mgt company
let them know but they might go deaf. Water Law hinges on all households right to
'a wholesome supply of water' - your customer or who ever could really make them jump around - its also a public health issue. My Mrs is an expert in water law if you want to nail it down.............centralheatking

it is block of flats and for the upper class all i want to do is go back fit another shower and get £200 in my pocket to do this i need to supply and fit a filter that will stop all debris going in to shower and filling shower head . I have been advised that CalHouseSC is a good fillter and will do go job and they cost £115+vat
