Hey Brad!

Have you checked the filters at your Susan's house? I would love to see what the "rare earth magnets" have pulled from the system.

Probably about due...
out of curiosity if nothing else, Paul! It seems you too share my curiosity.
In my own house, I just pulled the filter bag and magnets, it having run for the past year since I checked them last. They have been in place since 2003 by the way. First year I used a 50 micron bag filter, second year a 20 micron and now a 5 micron. As far as I can tell the filter bags just look dirty, like an old sock. No solid material that I can tell.
The magnets after the first year looked like Iron Chia Pets or our local Goth Punk band. I wiped them off and put them back.
After another year, the band got crew cuts apparently. A year later, just one week ago they had a film of black magnetite. At the rate they are going, next year they may look like Vin Diesel.
Very little magnatite inside the filter housing itself (which is steel). A wipe of the finger lifted a very slight film.
I topped the system off with Rhomar 922 and put them all back in operation after wiping.
If I did not mention, I get the Rare Earth Magnets at LeeValley.com, a favorite tool and hardware catalog store. They come in all shapes and sizes and erase credit and ATM cards with very little effort.
If I can, I will post photos of the magnets when I pull them. That is, if there is anything interesting to show of course!0 -

Maybe this should be done under video surveillance to make sure this is all on the up & up.0 -
Uhh....
I haven't met Brad personally, but ever since the Witness Protection Program relocated him, I think he's been okay.
On the up and up?
Brad, are you on the "Big Magnet" payroll?
