new centramag filter

[bspareltd]

newly born !!!!

looks like a magnaclean has mated with a fernox tf1 and this is the offspring

Lol pal, full demo one on counter in box, glossy A5 leaflets on counter, did not get price as in a rush picking up a fan for a Baxi Solo3 yesterday and only Mick was in, Ginger prince was out somewhere......I asked who got them stocked Mick said You so get a free one pal......

i like the flat washer on the lid, rather o ring, like the brass insert for drain valve, like it all but the valves and maybe will get grubby as others have pointed out, full pack of replacements washers in box too!

Haha, lets hope that's the case!

no more like the best of both built to be a better product

Fitted a couple now, and pleased with the results, will most likely be my filter of choice for the moment.

edit to add: A 28mm version would be nice as well

Vern if you decide to buy the centramag filter and look at the valves there is a o ring seated under the handle so to prevent any leaks and i have made sure that spare o rings are in the box but Vern if you have any issues dont hesitate in contacting me .I have given out 300 free samples and not one person has complained about the valves please do not compare my valves with magnaclean because the internal fitting of the valves are slightly different .

Right pal will take your word that the valves are different, only glanced at them TBH ......you'll be eating any valves that leak though for breakfast lol!!

Has anyone captured any non magnetic crude in the Centramag? I can see Mark has lots of magnetic sludge in his pics, only asking as not impressed with the Sentinel eliminator, indeed one nearly ( read would have had i not been in) flooded my own house when I fitted my new WB boiler at Christmas, I have found their weak spot through this!

All you need to do when servicing is to remove magnet and flush ,you never need to disassemble

That looks more sturdy than the magnaclean to be fair. Not to sure about it being in white though, it'll get filthy if you get sludge all over it when it's serviced.

I have to say bud, I'm very impressed and chuffed for you, that you've managed to design, manufacture and get this product to market without the help of the big boys, especially at the price point you've achieved, considering the positive feedback you've been getting, and I wish you every success with it. Hope it goes well for you.

Now send Paul an email and make sure I get my free sample! Lol

 

[bspareltd]

I am still not over the finishing line yet ,currently I am negotiating with a few distributors .
My aim is to have Centramag in every independent merchants,but that will take time .Also being a one man band cash flow is a sticky wicket with banks not lending

 

[bspareltd]

Centramag will always come with a spanner , the spanner will not be withdrawn to save costs !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Like others have done.

Just to add to this I fitted my first Centramag last week.

The customer liked the packaging.

Once opened

You can see the bag of spare washers etc.

I was a bit concerned about screwing the tap in until I saw the brass thread.

The tap seems nice and robust.

I was a bit concerned about dirty finger marks on the filter as can be seen below but a wipe with a hand cleaning wipe cleaned it off.

Typically the system was not very dirty.

blends in nicely with the white boiler !!!!!!!! and you dont have to open filter again ,just remove magnet and flush via the drain valve.Shows you've caught sludge in 24 hours ,i wonder what it would catch in a months time ?

will see the one on mine tomorrow,been in a week

 

[bspareltd]

would definitely be curious what it catches !!

 

[buckley plumb]

looks good do you get 2 copper elbows ? my only concern is the valves look similar to the dreaded magna clean ones

 

[AMGasServices]

I saw a similar thing in the gas safe magazine I think it was a salus defender. However this one looks a lot more durable. Ill be looking forward to seeing that at my local merchants.

 

[bspareltd]

you get one street elbow and the valves are not like the magna clean .These valves you get spare o rings for the valves .

salus products are gay ad are for diyers or the recycle bin this product is in a different league

 

[bspareltd]

The Salus does not demonstrate catching non-magnetic particles and you have to disassemble to clean the filter . Once disassembled and put back , guess what happens to the o ring in the lid!

Salus has 5 year warranty though looking at there web page

You have a sprinkler indoors. I had enough of a tf1 sprinkler. I mean ill be looking forward to see your product on the shelf of my local merchant.

Would you like me to forward your details on to my local merchant ?

 

[bspareltd]

Yes you are right about their 5 year warranty , I give a 2 year warranty on the Centramag and a 10 year warranty on the magnet .
Did you know any magnet submerged in water loses its magnetism over time .I wonder what would happen if the magnet stopped functioning after the 5 years .
I fail to see on the salus filter how it catches non-magnetic particles.
Roger i am like you a PLUMBER , if there was a problem in 5 or 6 years time ,i would still help you with the situation .
I am a bit like BAXI sorting the problem when the warranty has finished.

No harm in trying to get it into your local .

I know only teasing, if its anything like there other products you would need the warranty, and as you say has no non magnetic filtration element to it.

 

[bspareltd]

i am glad you agree on the non-magnetic element.
