Magnetic dirt separator BoilerMag, ref. ECL-BM-28-PLCK

Overview

BoilerMag magnetic dirt separator (ref. ECL-BM-28-PLCK) for heating circuits. It captures sludge and magnetite particles (black iron oxides) circulating in the central-heating water, protecting the boiler, pump, heat exchanger and emitters. Compact, it fits on the return, upstream of the boiler.

Magnetic principle

A powerful permanent magnet attracts and retains the ferromagnetic particles (magnetite) in suspension, while the settling chamber traps non-magnetic sludge. The water returns clarified, restoring heat transfer, reducing consumption and preventing hot spots, noise and pump blockages.

Construction & maintenance

The body and bowl are rated for the pressure and temperature of heating circuits, with integrated air vent and drain valve. Maintenance is simple: close the isolation valves, open the drain to flush the retained sludge, without dismantling. Periodic cleaning (per fouling) keeps efficiency.

Installation & compatibility

Fits on the return pipe, as close as possible to the boiler, with isolation valves (available as accessory) for maintenance without draining the circuit. Compatible with domestic installations (oil, gas, heat pump, underfloor heating). Pair with a corrosion inhibitor for lasting protection.

Savings & ecology

A clean circuit heats better and consumes less: by retaining sludge, the separator restores boiler efficiency, cuts the energy bill and spaces out costly failures (pump, valve, heat body). With no consumable or electricity, it acts continuously and cleans with water: a durable, economical move.

Choosing right

To choose well, identify your return pipe diameter (22/28 mm or 3/4''/1'' BSP) and the space near the boiler. Add isolation valves for easy maintenance and an inhibitor for corrosion protection. The DIMM team helps you assemble the set.

Key specifications

DIMM service & support

DIMM selects, stocks and ships BoilerMag magnetic dirt separators, their spare parts, valves and service tools, as well as heating-circuit treatments (inhibitor, cleaner, biocide). Our teams advise on diameter, model (domestic or XC) and the de-sludging/protection protocol. Every item is identified by its article code for reliable ordering, with manufacturer's warranty and available parts. Whether you equip a new boiler or maintain an existing installation, we support you from choice to application, from sizing the separator to the de-sludging and protection protocol, with a stock of parts and consumables immediately available for your installation.

Good to know

Install the separator on the return, as close as possible to the boiler, with isolation valves for maintenance without draining. After a chemical de-sludge, flush then re-protect with an inhibitor. Bleed air and drain sludge regularly in the first year (new or heavily fouled circuit), then at each annual service. A separator does not replace chemical treatment: both are complementary, the magnet retaining magnetite continuously while the inhibitor protects the metals and the cleaner loosens old deposits.

Applications

Magnetic de-sludging applies to all hot-water heating circuits: oil/gas/condensing boilers, heat pumps, underfloor heating and radiators, in single homes and small collective buildings. Fitted on the return, the unit durably protects the whole and ideally complements a chemical treatment (inhibitor) for healthy, efficient circuit water year-round.

Warranty & re-supply

BoilerMag-branded product distributed by DIMM, identified by its Business Central article code for reliable ordering and easy re-supply. It carries the manufacturer's warranty; spare parts, consumables and compatible accessories remain available in the catalogue to support the unit throughout its service life.
