Product Information
Full details
The Fernox TF1 Omega Filter is designed for heating engineers and homeowners seeking to protect their central heating systems from magnetic and non-magnetic contaminants. Its key benefit is the high-capacity, compact design that efficiently removes debris without restricting flow, making it ideal for installations with limited space. A minor caveat is the need for caution around individuals with implanted cardiac devices due to its powerful magnet.

FAQs
What size pipe does the Fernox TF1 Omega Filter fit?
The filter is designed for 22mm pipework and uses compression fittings.
Can this filter be installed on any angle?
The filter can be installed at a 45-degree orientation on both vertical and horizontal pipework.
How often should the filter be cleaned?
Cleaning frequency depends on system conditions. It's recommended to check and clean the magnet periodically, especially after initial system commissioning or if performance issues are suspected.
Does the filter restrict water flow?
No, the unique manifold design ensures the filter will not block or restrict flow within the heating system.
What type of contaminants does it remove?
It removes both magnetic contaminants (like iron oxide sludge) and non-magnetic debris from system water.
What is the warranty period?
The filter comes with a 25-year warranty on the body part.
What precautions are needed for users with pacemakers?
As with all magnetic products, individuals with implanted cardiac devices should exercise extra caution at all times when handling any magnetic filter.
Troubleshooting
Filter not capturing debris effectively
Ensure the neodymium magnet is correctly seated and the threaded cap is securely tightened. Check that the filter is installed in the correct orientation relative to the system's flow direction, if applicable. Verify that the system water does not have excessive flow rates that could bypass the filtration area.
Leakage from compression fittings
Re-tighten compression nuts. Ensure pipework is clean and free from damage. If the leak persists, the fitting or pipe may need replacement or professional assessment.
Difficulty removing magnet cap
Gently tap the cap with a rubber mallet or use a strap wrench for grip. Avoid excessive force. Ensure no debris is jamming the threads.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Efficiently removes both magnetic and non-magnetic debris.
- Compact design suitable for tight installations.
- Does not restrict water flow within the heating system.
- Easy to install with compression fittings.
- Simple and quick to clean without full disassembly.
- Durable forged brass construction with nickel plating.
Cons
- Requires caution for users with implanted cardiac devices due to the strong magnet.
- Installation angle limited to 45 degrees.
- Specific size (22mm) may not fit all pipework configurations without adaptors.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the system is isolated and drained sufficiently to allow for pipework modification.
- Install the Fernox TF1 Omega Filter using the provided 22mm compression fittings onto either vertical or horizontal pipework. Orient the filter at a 45-degree angle.
- Tighten compression nuts securely.
- Refill and vent the system as per standard procedures.
Compatibility:
- Compatible with 22mm copper pipework.
- Suitable for use in central heating systems.
- Important Note: Individuals with implanted cardiac devices should exercise extreme caution when handling or installing this magnetic filter and consult their medical professional if concerned.
Care:
- The filter is designed for easy cleaning. Periodically, unscrew the magnet cap to remove accumulated debris. Clean the magnet and housing, then reassemble.
- Full cleaning without dismantling involves a specific procedure that typically does not require full removal from the pipework. Refer to the manufacturer's detailed instructions for the specific cleaning mechanism.
