Best position for MAGNACLEAN
Jan 14^th, 2007, 2:47pm

I just bought a Magnaclean and need your help for the best position .Is it OK to fit it horizontal rather than vertical as it would be much easier to fit and service.I posted below a link to some photos where i want to fit it and the other options but will be a bit tight and awkward to get at.
Also in photo 2 what is the item i have circled in blue ,is it a filter would i remove it when i fit the Magnaclean

thanks nyck

No they are best mounted vertically in the return pipe.

Drop an elbow of the pipe to the lower connection.

Looking at the pic, if you cut the pipe where the red line is, and take it into the magnaclean, the return connections can connect anywhere in the pipe back to the boiler.

The item circled is a filter installed the wrong way up Shocked

Do i remove that other filter or doesnt it matter either way

You can then lower the return pipe a few inches to give yourself more room.
