Recommendation for sediment filter for hydronic heat

[JohnCT]

I'm looking for a recommendation for a small sediment filter to take some rust out of my hydronic heating system. I just lost a circulator and think it's because of sediment buildup from a previous leak (now repaired) that caused too much makeup water and resulting rust.

Thanks.

Did you have a regular wye strainer? Depending on how the system is set up there should traditionally be a wye strainer as the return line enters the boiler.

Other than that the air separator and magnetic filter combo is a nice choice. I like Caliefi (I always murder the spelling).
