A high-performance, magnetic in-line system filter, the TF1 Sigma Filter is ideal for restricted spaces as it is capable of multiple orientations. This simple to install, composite plastic filter fits onto vertical and horizontal pipework, and works by allowing hydrocyclonic action to deliver contaminants to the unit’s powerful magnet assembly for safe removal.
Engineered Polymer – The TF1 Sigma Filter is constructed from a high strength engineering polymer, suitable for heating and cooling system applications. The glass reinforced polymer has good hydrolysis resistance, as well as high resistance to strain and abrasion. The polymer is compatible with glycols and additives used in central heating systems.
Low pressure loss – The TF1 Sigma Filter has been designed to ensure there is minimal pressure head loss in addition to maintaining a high collection efficiency. The internal HPS, magnet assembly and area of low flow have all been engineered to allow the filter to capture a range of system contaminates, whilst not impacting the rest of the heating system.
High quality components – The TF1 Sigma Filter utilises a range of high-quality component parts that ensure the filter offers optimum performance. All valves are designed to allow users to operate them easily by hand, whilst also providing a secure connection to the system and a robust service point. The magnet is made using a premium grade of neodymium, enabling a high efficiency capture rate, as well as a robust filtration medium that will ensure a continued and consistent level of collection.
Designed to be installed close to the wall, the TF1 Sigma Filter can be easily fitted into either horizontal or vertical pipework in both flow directions. The filter is designed to protect the boiler from the damaging effects of circulating corrosion debris, which has collected in the system as a result of a chemical reaction when water comes into contact with mixed metals used within a heating and cooling system. It can be installed on vertical or horizontal pipework, in accordance with the flow direction indicated by the arrow on the manifold. Ideally the filter should be fitted on the return to the boiler and can be installed at up to 45⁰ from the vertical position, if space or head height is restricted.
As with all magnetic products, if you have an implanted cardiac device extra caution should always be taken when handling any magnetic filter.

Operating Principle
Contaminated water enters the filter via the manifold, carrying a variety of system debris and particulate matter held in suspension. This debris, including ferrous impurities such as Magnetite, moves through the manifold and into the main body of the filter.
Due to the engineered flow characteristics created within the filter by the Hydronic Particle Separator, water is forced downwards, which helps to disrupt any dirt particles held in suspension. These particles then settle in the designated area of low flow at the base of the filter for easy removal.
The dynamic flow of the water within the filter also allows ferrous impurities to be captured by the high-powered magnet assembly.
Water is directed to pass over the magnet sheath and around the HPS, before exiting via the manifold. As a result, system debris cannot escape from the filter and is either trapped in the area of low flow, or captured by the powerful, neodymium magnet to allow clean water to exit the filter.
Any dirt collected within the filter can be discharged by removing the magnet from the sheath and opening the drain valve. This procedure is shown in the cleaning guide.
