Magnaclean Prevention is Better Than the Cure
If you have a magnaclean fitted before any problems surface, such as cold radiators, or pump problems, then the build up of sludge can be stopped. The filter can remove the black sludge deposits much quicker than new deposits can form, so your system will never reach a critical level where breakdowns can occur. With the Magnaclean limiting the main cause of heating system deterioration, you can expect your heating system to last 60-80% longer. System parts like this sludge clogged pump (picture right) will not need replacing.
If You Don't Get A Magnaclean
Aside from the possible breakdowns and paying too much heating fuel, sludge damage is so common, no insurance policy covers it. As all central heating systems have sludge in them, this technique of not covering sludge is also a great way for cover providers to get out of work they feel threatens their profit margins on your individual policy.
This is a real money spinner for insurance providers like British Gas, as they will come out to a job and tell you the only solution is a powerflush. This is true, once sludge build up is so bad that it is causing breakdowns and heating problems, a powerflush is the only solution. But Powerflushing is not covered by the policy. So despite paying every month for your insurance, you will still have to pay for a powerflush. (powerflushing costs between £400-£800 when done fully by specialists, non-specialist flushes do not remove much more than 30-40%% of the sludge).
At the point of a breakdown due to sludge build up, your cover provider has you exactly where they want you.
If for example you have a policy with British Gas or Homeserve and they give you a high price for a powerflush you are not in a great position to get another quote. If you get another plumbing and heating company in to do the powerflush the next time there is a problem with your system the policy provider will claim the other company have done something wrong during the powerflush and void the policy. So work again will not be covered, despite you continuing to pay the monthly premium. This means you aren't really in any position to turn down whatever price they quote for a Powerflush.

Magnaclean Filters
Magnaclean Filters are small magnetic filters that are fitted on the 'return' pipe work of your central heating system, preferably close to your boiler. They have 3 main features all relating to the benefits of saving money. Reducing fuel consumption, reducing system wear and tear and reducing boiler breakdowns and the hassle and hardship they cause. These features combined mean the return on investment for a Magnaclean Filter is much faster than other energy efficiency/maintenace devices. View savings breakdown and explanation here.
Sludge desposits are one of the most common causes of boiler breakdown and system wear and tear and Magnaclean works by removing this sludge as it is pumped through your system. As a preventative measure Magnacleans are genuinely revolutionising the heating industry and as of 2009, they are considered the best product within the industry.
Magnaclean Energy Efficiency Savings
Magnaclean Filters inventor, Chris Adey (adey solutions) has helped solve a huge secret energy wastage problem (sludge build up), that currently dwarves the electrical wastage issues you hear about all the time (leaving lights and stand by button on etc). The Government has also carried out independant tests on the filters and on average the Magnaclean proved to increase the efficiency of heating systems by 12%, saving £108-£216 every year on the average fuel bill (£900-£1600 depending on which heating fuel your system uses). Results of older systems have shown an even higher increase in efficiency.
