FAQs
How often should the MagnaClean Micro be serviced?
It is recommended to service the MagnaClean Micro annually, or more frequently if the system is prone to significant debris accumulation. The magnetic core should be checked and cleaned regularly.
Can I install the MagnaClean Micro myself?
While designed for installers, the MagnaClean Micro can be installed by a competent DIYer. However, if you are not experienced with plumbing, it is advisable to use a qualified professional.
What is the warranty period for the MagnaClean Micro?
The Adey MagnaClean Micro comes with a 2-year warranty from the date of purchase.
What type of debris does the magnetic filter remove?
The primary type of debris removed is magnetite, also known as black iron oxide sludge, which is common in central heating systems. It also captures other ferrous and non-ferrous debris.
Does servicing the filter require draining the entire heating system?
No, thanks to the quick-release trigger and isolation valves, servicing and cleaning the magnetic core can often be performed without draining the entire system.
What is the pipe cut-out requirement?
The MagnaClean Micro requires a pipe cut-out of 98mm for installation.
Troubleshooting
Filter is not collecting debris
Ensure the magnetic core is correctly seated and that the isolation valves are fully open. Check if the system has been running long enough for debris to accumulate.
Leakage from connections
Verify that all compression fittings are tightened correctly. Ensure any seals or washers are in place and in good condition. Check the slip socket valve seating.
Reduced water flow after installation
The filter may be blocked. Carefully service the filter by removing and cleaning the magnetic core. Check for any obstructions in the pipework.
Difficulty during installation
Confirm the correct pipe cut-out of 98mm has been made. Ensure adequate access to the pipework for fitting the slip socket valves.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The MagnaClean Micro requires a 98mm pipe cut-out for installation. It features 22mm compression fittings and integrated 90-degree isolation valves with a slip socket design. Ensure the system is isolated and drained down before installation if necessary, although servicing can often be done without a full drain-down thanks to the quick-release trigger and isolation valves. Connect the filter in-line with the system pipework according to standard plumbing practices.
Compatibility: This filter is designed for central heating systems and is compatible with ADEY MagnaCleanse® for flushing procedures. Always ensure system water is suitable for the filter's materials.
Care: Regular servicing is recommended. The magnetic core can be cleaned by releasing the trigger and withdrawing the magnet. Use a damp cloth to wipe the magnet clean. The drain valve allows for easy flushing of collected debris. Refer to the manufacturer's guidelines for detailed servicing intervals.
