BoilerMag, part of the Spear & Jackson group of companies, has recently unveiled a brand-new addition to its range of heating system treatment products. The new BoilerMagHP magnetic filter has been specially designed to protect heat pump systems from loss of efficiency and breakdown caused by sludge and scale accumulation.
Supplied with 28mm bore isolation valves, the BoilerMagHP accommodates the greater flow rates common to heat pump systems. In addition, the bigger valves reduce the risk of pressure drops, which can affect heat pump efficiency.
BoilerMagHP utilises tried and trusted BoilerMag patented dual flow technology. Incorporating high-intensity magnets and optimum flow dynamics, it ensures extremely high magnetite collection rates, even at higher flow rates, whilst a scale guard provides additional protection against limescale accumulation. The new filter also includes popular BoilerMag features such as in-line installation, 360˚adjustment, and high collection capacity.
Contamination risks can be more acute in heat pump systems as they typically operate at lower temperatures. This means they can be more susceptible to bacteria and slime, which thrive in sludge-contaminated systems. BoilerMagHP works to counter these risks, removing contamination from the system and protecting the heat pump.
Craig Worth, National Sales Manager for BoilerMag, comments, “We are excited to launch BoilerMagHP and support the growing movement towards cleaner energy heating systems. If left unprotected, heat pump systems face the same risks as traditional gas- or oil-driven wet systems. We are delighted to offer a cost-effective solution. The response from our customer base has been overwhelming”.
For maximum system protection, BoilerMagHP can be used in conjunction with BM1 scale inhibitor and BM3 system cleaner. The new heat pump filter extends the BoilerMag system treatment range, which currently includes industrial and domestic filters, treatment chemicals, scale reducers, and water sample testing products.
