Protecting heating and water systems
Contaminants, limescale, corrosion and incorrect system pressure can all affect the performance and reliability of heating and water installations. IVAR System Protection & Water Treatment solutions bring together products designed to help manage these different challenges.
The range includes magnetic dirt separators for heating-system protection, filters and pressure-control products for incoming water and system management, and POLIFEMO® proportional dosing technology for limescale and corrosion protection.
Which IVAR system protection range do you need?
Magnetic Filters
For heating systems affected by magnetic and non-magnetic debris. IVAR DIRTSTOP® solutions combine magnetic separation and mechanical filtration to help remove impurities circulating through the system.
Filters & Pressure Control
Filtration and pressure-management products for protecting downstream components and controlling water-system pressure, including self-cleaning filters, Y-filters, pressure reducing valves and automatic filling solutions.
POLIFEMO®
Proportional polyphosphate and silicate dosing for incoming cold-water supplies, designed to help reduce limescale formation and provide protection against corrosion.
Different protection for different system challenges
Remove circulating debris
Corrosion within heating systems can release ferrous particles into the circulating water, while other non-magnetic impurities may also be present. Magnetic dirt separators help capture this contamination before it can accumulate in vulnerable system components.
Filter and manage pressure
Incoming water may carry impurities and may require pressure regulation before reaching downstream equipment. IVAR filtration and pressure-control products provide solutions for removing debris and maintaining suitable operating pressure.
Reduce limescale and corrosion
POLIFEMO® proportionally introduces polyphosphates and silicates into the water supply, helping reduce limescale formation while creating a protective film within pipework.
Choosing the right system protection solution
The appropriate product will depend on the type of system and the issue being addressed. Heating circuits affected by circulating debris may benefit from magnetic dirt separation, while incoming water installations may require filtration or pressure regulation. Where limescale and corrosion protection is required on the cold-water supply, POLIFEMO® provides proportional dosing technology.

System protection and water treatment FAQs
Why is system protection important in a heating system?
Debris and corrosion products circulating through a heating system can accumulate in components and restricted passages, potentially contributing to blockages, noise and reduced system performance. Appropriate filtration and dirt separation help remove these contaminants.
What is the difference between a magnetic filter and a water filter?
Magnetic dirt separators are primarily designed to protect closed heating circuits by capturing ferrous and other circulating debris. Water filters are used to remove impurities from incoming or circulating water depending on the application and filter type.
What does a pressure reducing valve do?
A pressure reducing valve lowers incoming pressure to a controlled downstream pressure suitable for the installation and equipment being supplied.
What does POLIFEMO® do?
POLIFEMO® proportionally doses polyphosphates and silicates into the water supply to help reduce limescale formation and provide protection against corrosion.
