- Effective Sludge Capture: High-strength internal magnet actively removes black iron oxide magnetite and debris to help protect your central heating pump
- Space Saving Design: Ultra-compact reinforced nylon body fits in tight areas and restricted spaces directly beneath domestic boilers
- Versatile Installation: Flexible fitting options allow the filter to be installed on horizontal or vertical pipework configurations
- Brass Isolation Valves: Supplied with two high-quality nickel-plated brass compression valves to ensure robust and secure connections
- Thermal Resistance: Features heat-resistant EPDM seals designed to withstand temperature fluctuations within pressurized heating systems
The LavaTherm Black 22mm Magnetic Filter BFMBC-BLK22 is a professional-grade solution designed to address the most common cause of heating system failure: black iron oxide sludge. In the absence of an effective filter, magnetite particles circulate through your radiators and settle in the boiler's heat exchanger or central heating pump, leading to premature wear and increased energy bills. By installing this active magnetic filter on the return leg of your system, you effectively trap these harmful contaminants before they reach your boiler, ensuring a cleaner and more efficient heating circuit.
Engineered with performance and ease of installation in mind, the LavaTherm filter features a high-strength magnet housed within a durable, reinforced nylon body. Its compact design makes it ideal for modern boiler installations where space is often at a premium. The flexible installation capability means it can be fitted to both horizontal and vertical pipes, providing installers with maximum flexibility without compromising filtration efficiency.
Maintenance is designed to be a simple task during your annual service. The magnet is easily removed for cleaning, and the included drain-off adaptor allows you to empty the filter chamber without a full system bypass. Furthermore, the integrated access point serves as a convenient dosing port for adding system inhibitors or cleansers. Manufactured with premium nickel-plated brass valves and high-grade seals, this filter is built to withstand standard domestic pressures and temperatures. Investing in the LavaTherm system protector is a cost-effective way to help extend the lifespan of your heating appliances while improving overall home comfort.
