system. Once the dosing is complete, the products should be left to circulate within the system, before the system is drained, flushed clear and refilled with clean mains water. Industry best practice then advises that a high performing system filter is
fitted. Capable of removing both magnetic and non-magnetic material, filter technology aids in the safe capture, containment and removal of any circulating debris. A rapidly evolving technology, comprehensive ranges of filters are available. For properties in hard water areas, either an electrolytic or
magnetic scale reducer should also be fitted to reduce the risk of future scale buildup. A chemical inhibitor should then also be added to the system to work with
the filter technology to protect the system against corrosion and scale formation, along with an active dispersant. Formulated to continuously detect, lift and deliver system sludge and debris to an inline filter, the active dispersant ensures ongoing delivery of debris, significantly enhancing the performance of the filter. Furthermore, as the solution is left within the system, the chemical inhibitor
aids in reducing system down time and postpones the need for the system to be drained and cleaned. For those within social housing properties, particularly the elderly, this can be vital to keep a system running during the cold winter months. To conclude the 360 degrees process, the system water should be
rechecked to assure the cleanliness of the system. As fuel poverty and the impact of cold homes continue to increase,
improving the efficiency of installed central heating systems is of paramount importance. By incorporating innovative filter technology and proven chemical water treatments, system debris can be consistently captured, contained and removed, preventing the build-up of sludge and scale, resulting in a trouble-free and effective energy efficient heating system.
The first step of this process is to check the quality of the system water. If the test results suggest so, then a reliable cleaner should be added to the
