The Fernox CC1 Side Stream Filter Air & Dirt 90 is a high-performance side stream filtration, air removal and chemical dosing unit designed for commercial and industrial closed-loop HVAC systems up to 90,000 litres.
It provides magnetic filtration, antimicrobial fine filtration down to 0.5 micron, automatic air venting and an integrated 5.5L dosing pot, all within a robust 316 stainless steel vessel.
The CC1 continuously removes magnetic and non-magnetic debris, microbubbles, dirt and bacterial contamination, helping extend the lifespan and maintain the efficiency of boilers, chillers, heat exchangers and pumps.

  • Combined unit with magnetic filter, antimicrobial cartridge, air removal and dosing pot for complete system protection
  • 0.5 micron antimicrobial cartridge filtration – exceeds BSRIA BG29 & BG50 standards
  • Four 8,500 Gauss neodymium magnets fully submerged for maximum ferrous capture
  • Automatic air vent – removes microbubbles to reduce noise and component stress
  • Integrated 5.5L stainless steel dosing pot for chemical treatment without shutdown
  • Unblockable flow design maintains performance even when filters are heavily loaded
Product Overview

The Fernox CC1 Side Stream Filter Air & Dirt 90 is an all-in-one solution engineered to deliver effective water quality management in commercial HVAC systems. It combines magnetic separation, fine particulate filtration, air removal and chemical dosing in a single compact, wall-mounted unit.
The unit is supplied as a complete package, including a 0.5 micron antimicrobial cartridge filter, thermal jacket and pressure & temperature gauge, together with four 8,500 Gauss neodymium magnets, an automatic air vent, stainless steel isolation valves, backing plate and dedicated drain and fill fittings.
Using four high-strength neodymium magnets and an antimicrobial nylon cartridge, the CC1 removes ferrous debris, non-magnetic solids, suspended contaminants, biofouling and entrained air from circulating system water. The antimicrobial cartridge provides filtration down to 0.5 micron, while the automatic air vent continuously releases separated air and microbubbles.
Its 316 stainless steel vessel is polished internally to help minimise bacterial colonisation and support easy cleaning. The unit is designed for continuous operation without requiring system shutdown during routine dosing and debris removal, making it suitable for commercial applications where system uptime is critical.
The CC1 is designed to support BSRIA BG29 and BG50 requirements for commissioning, maintenance and system water quality management.

Operating Principle
As system water enters the Fernox CC1:
1. Magnetic Separation
Four 8,500 Gauss neodymium magnet bars (encased in stainless steel) are fully submerged in the flow path to capture ferrous material such as magnetite.
2. Antimicrobial Cartridge Filtration
A spun-bonded nylon cartridge removes non-magnetic solids down to 0.5 micron. The cartridge includes silver-ion antimicrobial technology, which disrupts bacterial respiration and neutralises microorganisms on contact.
3. Air Removal
The stainless steel automatic air vent releases microbubbles and trapped air, helping reduce noise and strain on system components.
4. Chemical Dosing
The 5.5L dosing pot allows inhibitors and treatment chemicals to be introduced quickly and safely without shutting down the system.
5. Drain & Maintenance
A dedicated drain connection ensures quick vessel emptying, enabling rapid filter replacement. The unit’s design prevents system blockage even if filters are not serviced regularly.
