New Greenstar system filter

Published: 07-01-2013

We have enhanced our award-winning Greenstar range of high-efficiency boilers with the launch of a new high-capacity system filter.

As the first boiler manufacturer to add a system filter to our product portfolio, this provides support for the installer by allowing heating engineers to offer our customers a boiler and compatible filter under the same brand.

How it works

The twin action Greenstar system filter has been designed to capture both magnetic and non-magnetic system water contaminants, protecting the boiler and wider central heating system components.

The Greenstar system filter comprises of a high-capacity cyclonic trap capable of capturing non-magnetic particles, whilst the filter also boasts the strongest magnet available, which can capture up to 200g of magnetites per year.

This optimum combination of features ensures the end-user can benefit from improved heating comfort and no reduction to the life expectancy of any "water facing" components.

Thanks to the inclusion of pre-formed copper tails, a dedicated spanner and a quick dose valve for adding system chemicals, the Greenstar system filter is simple to install and service, with a guide installation time of just 15 minutes when installed with a new or replacement boiler.

"Save on energy bills, reduce C02 emissions"

Martyn Bridges, Director of Marketing and Technical Support at Worcester, comments: "Our long-term strategy has always been to give installers and their customers the chance to benefit from the complete system solution and the introduction of our Greenstar system filter is our latest commitment to that.

"With domestic energy bills on the rise, homeowners are well-advised to do all they can to improve the efficiency of their heating system.

"Our extensive field trials found that the Greenstar system filter can save on annual energy bills and reduce C02 emissions when compared to a system containing contaminated water and can simultaneously prolong the lifespan of the boiler and system components.

"From an installer's perspective, the installation of a system filter allows their customers to significantly limit the risk of boiler component damage, which can prove costly to repair."

The launch of our Greenstar system filter follows our recent Which? Report success. This year, for the second year running, we have once again performed excellently within the Which? Report, where no other manufacturer scored higher.

We scooped an impressive 23 Which? Best Buy accreditations for the range of Greenstar gas boilers, including our new CDi Classic range.

We were also placed in the category of 'The most reliable gas boiler brands' in the latest survey of Which? panel members.
