"Hi there, your magnetic filter company will need your filter servicing to maintain the guarantee and also ensure its working correctly,
Here’s the RUB,
A lot of big boiler service company policy providers won’t let there engineers touch the magnetic filters because they can leak after they have been cleaned,
And they don’t want the liability and labour costs in putting this right afterwards,
So in a nutshell you can service your boiler 6 times a year but if the filter is not cleaned your service is irrelevant"

"Yes, inspection of the filter is one of the procedures during an annual service, which validates the boiler warranty."
