    Fitting magna clean on flow

    I understand these cleaners need to be fitted on the return. Does it matter if my magna clean is on the flow ? I have just noticed this afternoon where it is positioned. the boiler was moved a month ago you see. Should it be changed urgently or is it not that big a deal
