Product Information
Full details
The Adey MagnaClean AtomSC is designed for residential heating engineers and homeowners looking to protect compact boiler installations from system debris. Its primary benefit is the combination of high-efficiency magnetic filtration and an ultra-compact footprint, allowing for installation in tight spaces where standard filters won't fit. A key caveat to note is that this specific unit uses 22mm compression fittings, meaning it is strictly for compatible pipework and requires correct orientation during the initial setup.

FAQs
Does the AtomSC work with all pipe types?
It is designed for use with 22mm copper or plastic pipework using standard compression fittings.
How often should I clean the filter?
It is recommended to check and clean the filter during your annual boiler service.
Can I install this on the flow pipe?
For optimal protection of the boiler heat exchanger, it is recommended to install the filter on the return pipe.
What tools are needed for installation?
Standard plumbing spanners or wrenches suitable for 22mm compression fittings are sufficient.
Is the magnet inside permanent?
The magnetic core is high-grade and designed for long-term use, though it must be removed during the cleaning process.
Troubleshooting
Water leaking from the compression connection
Ensure the pipe ends are cut square and deburred before tightening; if it persists, tighten the nut an additional quarter turn.
Reduced system flow rate
The canister may be overly saturated with debris; perform a manual service to clean the magnetic sleeve.
Magnet appears to be losing strength
Ensure the magnet is fully inserted into the center of the sleeve and that no debris is obstructing its seating position.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Ideal for tight, space-constrained boiler cupboards
- Effective at extending boiler lifespan by removing magnetite
- Easy to install with standard compression tools
- Robust construction for long-term reliability
Cons
- Not suitable for systems with piping sizes other than 22mm
- Smaller canister volume may require more frequent cleaning than large commercial units
- Installation requires turning off the heating system
Setup, Compatibility & Care
For installation, ensure the system is fully drained and the power to the boiler is isolated. The filter should be mounted on the return pipe to the boiler, ensuring that the directional flow arrows on the unit align with the system flow. Use standard compression tools to tighten the 22mm nuts, ensuring a watertight seal. Care for the unit involves periodic servicing; it is recommended to isolate the unit, unscrew the canister cap, and wipe down the magnet sleeve to remove accumulated sludge. Always inspect the O-ring seals for signs of wear during maintenance to prevent future leaks.
