POWERFLUSHING FILTER

 Removes and traps magnetite, rust and magnetic

materials from the system

 Protects the boiler during powerflushing
 By-pass enables the magnet to be inspected without

the need to interrupt the flushing process

 Rated temperature up to 850C
 Compatible with all Fernox Cleaners and Protectors
 Easy to clean, simple to operate

Product Uses

The Fernox Powerflushing Filter provides a fast and easy way to remove contaminants from system water
during flushing. Simple to install, the filter significantly increases powerflushing efficiency thereby reducing
time spent on-site.

The filter controls the flow of water to give a longer contact time within the cylinder, which allows the
maximum amount of black iron oxide to be extracted by the powerful magnet from the water. Developed to
ensure that even at maximum capacity, the water circulates without restriction. Additional benefits also
include a built-in bypass which enables the magnet to be cleaned without the need to stop the powerflushing
process even temporarily. On cleaning of the magnet the filter provides an impressive visual aid to show the
householder the level of contaminant removed and therefore confirming the need to powerflush in order to
protect the system’s longevity.

Specification

 Magnet - 11,000 gauss neodymium rare earth magnet, sleeved in stainless steel
 Maximum magnetic iron oxide capacity - 2.1 kg
 Long water residence time within the cylinder
 Collects small as well as large contaminants
 Operates at temperatures up to 850C
 Dual three-port by-pass valve system

Packaging, Handling and Storage

Individually packaged with hose and detailed instructions included. No special storage requirements
required.

Caution: The Fernox Powerflushing Filter contains a very strong magnet and generates a very
powerful magnetic field. When removed from the cylinder, keep away from electronic equipment,
watches, mobile phones, credit cards and pacemaker

Instructions for use

Please ensure that the initial set up is configured so that the Fernox Powerflushing Filter is installed
immediately before the boiler to offer the highest level of protection in the early stages of the powerflushing
process. The Fernox Powerflow MKIII Flushing Machine can circulate system water in either direction by
operating the flow reversing lever.

Connections

1. Place the Fernox Powerflushing Filter adjacent to the Fernox Powerflow MKIII Flushing Machine
employing best practice to protect the customer's property for wet works.

2. Connect the lowermost connection on the filter to the “Flow” from the Fernox Powerflow Flushing Machine
MKIII using the 1 meter extension hose and female camlock connector supplied1.

3. Secure the male camlock connector to the uppermost connection on the filter using PTFE tape.

4. Using an existing hose provided with Fernox Powerflow MKIII, connect the male camlock1 on the filter to
the heating system/boiler. Connect the return to the Powerflow MKIII using the second existing hose
provided with the Fernox Powerflow MKIII.

Note: If the current British Gas powerflushing machine is used the camlock adapters are not

required.
