A magnetic filter captures magnetite (iron oxide sludge) which the mesh cannot. For a new or recently flushed heat pump system, a magnetic filter on the system return is recommended in addition to the BVF filter valve — particularly for systems with radiators, which generate magnetite over time. The two products complement rather than replace each other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 14px; border-left: 3px solid #008377CF; padding-left: 14px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #008377cf; margin-bottom: 4px;\"\u003eHow is the filter cartridge accessed and cleaned?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0; font-size: 14px;\"\u003eClose the ball valve, relieve any residual system pressure, then unscrew the filter cartridge housing from the valve body.

Partial opening of a ball valve causes cavitation, erosion of the ball seat, and can damage the valve permanently. For flow rate control and balancing on a heat pump circuit, use a dedicated flow balancing valve such as the Intatec INFBV2850.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- Related products footer --\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: #008377CF; color: #fff; padding: 16px 20px; border-radius: 4px; margin-top: 32px; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.9;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelated Products:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntatec HPBV28 Heat Pump Extended Key Ball Valve 28mm | Intatec HPBV35 Heat Pump Extended Key Ball Valve 35mm | Intatec BVF28 Combi Ball Valve with Filter 28mm | Intatec BVF35 Combi Ball Valve with Filter 35mm | Intatec IntaKlean HP Magnetic Filter | Intatec INFBV2850 Flow Balancing Valve\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Inta","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63899327234397,"sku":"CBV1","price":39.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/2051\/3629\/files\/IntaCBV1HeatPumpCombiBallValve1YStrainer_IsolationValveCombined400MicronMeshFilter.webp?v=1773808674","url":"https:\/\/qualityheating.co.uk\/products\/intatec-cbv1-heat-pump-combi-ball-valve-with-400-micron-filter-1-bsp","provider":"AIZO Quality Heating","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
