how to clean magnetic filter on boiler

Jan 02, 2024

Firstly, turn off the power to the boiler before starting the cleaning process. This is an important safety measure to prevent any accidents from happening.


Next, locate the magnetic filter on your boiler. This is usually a small metal cylinder attached to the pipework near the boiler. You may need to consult the boiler manual for the exact location of the filter.


Once you have located the filter, remove it from the pipework. Some filters may have a detachable cover which you can remove to access the filter element. Others may require a special tool or wrench to remove the filter from the pipework.


With the filter removed, clean any debris or dirt from the outside of the filter using a soft-bristled brush or cloth. Be careful not to damage the filter element.


Next, inspect the filter element for any signs of wear or damage. If the filter element is damaged, it will need to be replaced.


To clean the filter element, rinse it thoroughly with water to remove any dirt or debris. If the filter element is particularly dirty, you may need to soak it in a cleaning solution for a few hours before rinsing it with water.


Once the filter element is clean, reassemble the filter and attach it back onto the pipework. Make sure all attachments are secured before turning on the power to the boiler.
