Hi there I'm wondering if someone can advise me on the best way to clean the magnetic filter that's fitted on my sons central heating system. it's an easy thing to access, just by closing off aa inline valve and then removing the fitter for cleaning.
I've done it once about a year ago and I think it needs doing again. Trouble is last time I got in a real mess. The sticky black gunge just won't easily come off the magnet and when you scrape it off it sticks to everything it touches (like the sink). It turns what should be a few minutes work into an endless trauma.
I'd have thought it would have some method whereby the magnet could be kind of 'switched off' so that the gunk releases and comes off easily.
Any suggestions on the best way of going about it would be much appreciated.
