Fernox Tf1 total filter reversed flow

[DaveB0360]

Hi all, am new to this forum & hoping for assistance with new installation of Fernox TF1 Total filter.

Have a new Intergas Rapid 25 boiler installed by gas safe engineer but he's installed the filter with reversed flow.
The return pipe drops behind boiler to 500mm below boiler and the engineer has fitted it into the downward leg of the return pipe instead of the upward leg to boiler return tail. The arrow on the filter is in upward direction against the downward flow direction of the system. How significant is this for the filter/system and what's the best way to correct this for maximum filter effect please. The engineer is not liky to be available to correct his work.
Thanks in advance

Did the fitter?????

Not sure tbh.... I think he's been a jobbing fitter on piece rate from what he was saying, fitting in council homes so I guess he's picked up most of the bad habits associated with quick turnaround.

No excuse but the reason my wife was stressing getting close to Christmas and cold weather meant I dropped my guard and was too soft just to get her happy and comfortable.. Still don't accept it was right of him to do such a bodge.. If he'd said he needed more time and more money I would have accepted that.. I made that clear to him from the outset. I said I was more interested in a good reliable job than price.. Don't know how I could have been clearer. I've been self employed with customers for many years (partly tv & video repairs) and always took pride and care over my work & customers. I do tend to make the mistake sometimes of assuming all trades are of the same mind... I've learned.
