Product Overview

Commercial and industrial hydronic heating
system protection
Protect your commercial hydronic heating system from damaging black iron oxide
sludge with a MagnaClean
®
Commercial
™
filter. An exceptionally powerful line
of magnetic filters in a variety of sizes, MagnaClean Commercial is designed to
begin cleaning and protecting from the moment it’s installed. Proven MagnaClean
technology effectively removes iron oxide sludge, and maintains critical system
efficiency.
MagnaClean Commercial high-performance filters not only maintain heating
and cooling systems, but they also provide ongoing protection and contribute
significantly to reduced energy, maintenance, and repair costs. MagnaClean
Commercial filters can be used in installations across the following sectors:
Manufacturing – factories, production plants
Office buildings
Multi-family housing – apartment buildings
Large single-family housing
Healthcare – hospitals, nursing homes
Education – colleges, schools
Retail – stores, shopping centers
Institutional – municipal buildings, churches
Hospitality – hotels, motels
Precision design and flexibility
MagnaClean Commercial is manufactured to ASME Section 8 in five sizes to
meet the demands of a broad cross-section of light commercial to heavy-duty
applications.
MagnaClean Commercial delivers immediate benefits to improve performance and
help to reduce maintenance costs:
• Exceptional magnetic capture – Up to 80% better than tested traditional
methods
• Helps restore heating system efficiency and performance –
Up to 30% more efficient
• Helps reduce ongoing maintenance costs
• Construction conforms to ASME Section 8
• Collects large and micro-particles
• Compatible with ALL hydronic heating and cooling systems
• Simple, trouble-free installation and servicing
Proven performance
Extensive research has shown that magnetic filtration is the most effective means of sludge capture in maintaining and
protecting commercial hydronic heating systems. When compared with a dirt separator and a basket filter, test results
show that MagnaClean Commercial is up to 80% more effective in capturing damaging iron oxide sludge than these
other forms of filtration, and at least 30% more energy-efficient.
Superior Iron Oxide Capture
A 2” MagnaClean Commercial collected over 3 pounds of magnetite during a two-hour cycle at a standard flow rate.
By comparison, a 2” basket filter collected less than one ounce. A comparable dirt separator collected just over a half
ounce of magnetite under the same flow conditions.*
Once collected, the iron oxide does not wash off the MagnaClean filter — even at greater flow rates. That’s because,
once iron oxide sludge is captured, it can’t be pulled back into the system, as it can with separators and baskets.
Additionally, baskets and separators are prone to blockage. MagnaClean Commercial continues to remove sludge from
the system even when the magnets are fully saturated with iron oxide.

MagnaClean Commercial Benefits
The unique, proprietary design of the MagnaClean Commercial line maximizes first-pass capture of magnetic debris by
forcing system water flow past powerful magnets that ‘ACTIVELY’ trap any circulating iron oxide sludge, preventing
potentially expensive damage to the system and its components.
MagnaClean Commercial filters not only begin cleaning almost immediately upon installation, but also provide
ongoing protection over the life of the system.
MagnaClean Commercial filters are the clear choice for maintaining optimal system performance, and offer the
following additional benefits:
• Highest quality, temperature resistant neodymium
magnets for ultimate sludge capture
• Magnetic rods can be removed individually for
easy servicing
• Flexible installation options
• Collects large and micro-particles of sludge that build
up in the boiler
• Specification and construction conforms to
ASME standards
• EPDM, full-face flange gaskets for maximum
strength seal at high temperatures
• Drain valve with BSPT threads, ensuring effective
seal and easy maintenance
• No moving parts – no ongoing operating costs
• Increased energy efficiency
• Decreased maintenance costs
• Restores peak system performance
• Extends system life
Less Pressure Drop
MagnaClean Commercial also has a lower pressure drop than other tested methods of filtration. Even when fully loaded
with trapped iron oxide sludge, there was nearly 54% less pressure drop across a MagnaClean Commercial filter than
the dirt separator, and 68% less than the basket filter.* The differential pressure should be minimum so flow rates can
remain at an optimum constant, ensuring that system efficiency is more steadily maintained and energy usage is lower.
