TERMS & CONDITIONS

The unit has been installed correctly and maintained and serviced in accordance with the instructions. This warranty will not cover damage or defects caused as a result of faulty installation or improper maintenance or servicing.
The unit has not been tampered with or otherwise subjected to misuse, fire, accidental damage or negligence.

of whatsoever nature, shall be available. Ideal Heating reserves the right to undertake the least costly option available. The amount of any claim under this warranty shall be limited to the original purchase price paid for the defective unit.
All personal data that we collect from you as part of the warranty registration process will be used by Ideal Heating in order to maintain the validity of this warranty. We may also use the details provided to email you about new products, discounts or upcoming events which we feel may interest you where you have provided your consent for us to do so.
Our decision on all matters relating to warranty claims shall be final.
The Ideal System Filter comes with a ten* year limited warranty of the filter body and magnet assembly within operational temperatures of up to 95°C.
The warranty period will be for a period of up to ten* years from the date of registration, or for the life of the boiler to which the Ideal System Filter is fitted, whichever comes first.
In the case of Max boilers, both the boiler and included system filter need to be registered simultaneously within 30 days of installation to qualify for the full warranty period. Should these conditions not be met then the period of warranty will extend to only 12 months from installation.
Replacement under warranty does not restart the warranty period.
The magnet must be kept clean and dry at all times. Should the operating temperature exceed 95°C, the pressure of the system exceed 4.5 bar or the flow rate exceed that which is stated in the Product Data Sheet, the warranty will be void.
To prevent further corrosion taking place within a central heating system, a quality inhibitor must be used in conjunction with the installation of an Ideal System Filter. The warranty will be void if it should it be found that a system where an Ideal System Filter was fitted did not contain a chemical inhibitor. Inhibitor levels should be checked on an annual basis.
All non-metal filter parts e.g. rubber seals, connection valve rubber components (e.g. O- rings) are covered by a warranty of 2 years from date of installation.

Ideal System Filter Installation & Maintenance Guide
The Ideal System Filter is an efficient, full-flow, magnetic filter designed to protect central heating systems by removing suspended debris, including iron oxide.

Collects magnetic and non-magnetic debris
No lid to remove for dosing to prevent potential leaks
Will not block flow
Fast and easy to clean without dismantling unit
Low pressure drop – maintains system energy efficiency
Easy to install, pipework orientation unlimited
Flexible installation options – can be used with valves or as a slipsocket connection
Powerful dry pocket magnet assembly
Simple chemical dosing via the drain valve
Flushing adaptor available
