Boiler Buddy?
Apart from collecting corrosion debris
and preventing it from circulating within
the system, Boiler Buddy’s condition
monitoring capability enables remedial
action to be taken before system failure
occurs: avoiding the inconvenience of a
breakdown and the associated costs of
major repair or replacement.

makes of boiler?
Boiler Buddy is designed to work with
any boiler or heating system
Can you powerflush the heating system
with a Boiler Buddy installed?
Powerflushing with Boiler Buddy installed
will likely result in the unit filling with
debris. To avoid this situation, simply

Buddy is the recommended magnetic
cleaning system for powerflushing.
How much does Boiler Buddy help
save in fuel/energy costs?
Boiler Buddy captures magnetite and
sludge in a heating system and so
reduces the risk of deposits within the
heat exchanger. It is the elimination of
debris blocking pipes and components
that ensures the efficiency of the boiler
is maintained and helps prolong
component lifetime.
How long will a Boiler Buddy last?
Boiler Buddy is a one-off purchase that
is designed to last the life of the
heating system.
Does Boiler Buddy adversely affect
the waterflow when full?

How often should a Boiler Buddy
be cleaned?
The Boiler Buddy is a conditionmonitoring
device, which gives an early
warning of inherent problems with the
cleanliness of the heating system.

The Boiler Buddy is a brand new addition to Fernox’s portfolio of energy saving products. This in-line magnetic filter is easily connected to any condensing boiler system to trap magnetite, rust and magnetic materials to sub-micron levels ensuring your heating system achieves optimum efficiency.
Based on technology used in Formula 1 Motor Racing, to remove dirt from engine oil, the Boiler Buddy works on a magnetic principle, collecting and filtering contaminants from a central heating system to prevent potential component damage and erosion.
The unit works via a series of annular magnets and flux plates. As the water passes through the magnetic filter, the contaminants are drawn into special collection areas. Unlike conventional filters that can become clogged, the flux plate design (awarded the Millennium Prize for innovation in 20xx) ensures that the filter never restricts the system flow, even when full.
A clear housing allows the build up of debris to be easily checked, enabling the condition of a central heating system to be continually monitored.
The Boiler Buddy is connected directly into 22mm copper pipework using conventional pump connectors and can be installed either horizontally or vertically. A good diy-er could probably do the job efficeintly and effectively.
