The Magnetic System Filter on Your IBC Boiler

A magnetic system filter traps the black iron-oxide sludge and debris that circulates in heating systems, protecting the heat exchanger, pump and valves. Fitting one is one of the best ways to extend boiler life in older Greater Vancouver systems.

On IBC systems — including models such as SL 20-160, VFC 15-150, V-10 — a failing magnetic system filter often shows up as ignition lockout or related symptoms. We diagnose it precisely and install the correct genuine IBC part.
