As an experienced plumber, Pete is a big fan of BoilerMag and is very happy with its performance in old cast iron systems.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>I was introduced to <strong>BoilerMag<\/strong> through Jordan at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mckeoughsupply.com\/\">Mckeough Supply<\/a> in Brantford<\/em>&#8221; said Pete. During a service call at a new house that had two high efficiency condensing boilers, Pete noticed that one of the pumps had failed due to excessive debris in the system. Unaware of what was causing the corrosion in the system but knowing the benefits of <strong>BoilerMag<\/strong> magnetic filters, he decided to install a BM\/R. Pete knew that in order to prevent premature boiler and pump failure, he needed a <strong>BoilerMag<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Taking Preventative Measures<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The BM\/R was installed on an old cast iron system and after only 18 hours of operation, Pete was shocked by the amount of contamination that was pulled from the system. &#8220;<em>I returned within a day or two and was surprised at the <\/em>amount<em> of metal filings that the <strong>BoilerMag<\/strong> had removed. The performance of the BoilerMag is great. This will ensure <\/em>long<em> operation of the pumps and the boiler. The <strong>BoilerMag<\/strong> is a must for old cast systems<\/em>.&#8221; -Pete.<\/p>\n<h3>How it Works<\/h3>\n<p>The <strong>BoilerMag<\/strong> residential heating system filter uses patented magnetic technology that ensures that virtually 100% of iron oxide and scale is removed on the first pass. The filter is designed so that the water is fully exposed to the powerful magnetic rods such that is draws out the iron oxide that collects in the hydronic heating systems. The unit can be installed and cleaned in minutes, making it a popular choice for plumbers such as Pete Zandstra.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-6612\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boilermag.com\/na\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Contamination-after-18-hours-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.boilermag.com\/na\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Contamination-after-18-hours-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.boilermag.com\/na\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Contamination-after-18-hours-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.boilermag.com\/na\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Contamination-after-18-hours-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.boilermag.com\/na\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Contamination-after-18-hours-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.boilermag.com\/na\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Contamination-after-18-hours.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-6613\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boilermag.com\/na\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Cleaning-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.boilermag.com\/na\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Cleaning-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.boilermag.com\/na\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Cleaning-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.boilermag.com\/na\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Cleaning-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.boilermag.com\/na\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Cleaning-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.boilermag.com\/na\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Cleaning.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-6616\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boilermag.com\/na\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Install-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.boilermag.com\/na\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Install-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.boilermag.com\/na\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Install-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.boilermag.com\/na\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Install-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.boilermag.com\/na\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Install-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.boilermag.com\/na\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Install.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pete Zandstra of Grand Mechanical Solutions Inc. based in Brantford, Ontario is the latest installer to recommend the BoilerMag residential heating system filter.
