FAQs
How often should I add Sentinel X100?
Ideally, re-dose annually or as indicated by the test kit results. This ensures continued protection.
Can I use X100 with any type of boiler?
Yes, it is compatible with all indirect central heating systems.
How do I check the inhibitor level?
Use the Sentinel X100 test kit, following the instructions provided.
What happens if I add too much X100?
Overdosing is not typically harmful but is unnecessary. Always follow dosage guidelines.
Does X100 remove existing limescale?
No, it primarily prevents new limescale formation. A separate system cleaner may be needed to remove existing deposits.
Is Sentinel X100 safe for the environment?
Sentinel X100 is formulated to minimize environmental impact when used as directed.
Can I use X100 with underfloor heating?
Yes, it is suitable for use with underfloor heating systems.
Troubleshooting
Heating system not performing efficiently.
Check inhibitor levels using the test kit and re-dose if necessary. Ensure the system is properly bled of air.
Radiators are cold at the bottom.
This could indicate sludge or debris. Consider flushing the system and adding the inhibitor again.
Noisy boiler.
This may be due to limescale buildup. Add X100 and monitor for improvement. A system flush might be needed if the noise persists.
Reduces the risk of costly repairs due to corrosion and limescale.
Compatible with a wide range of heating system components and water types.
Easy to use with a simple test kit available for monitoring.
Cons
Requires proper dosage for optimal performance.
May require reapplication periodically.
Does not address existing sludge or debris (requires system cleaning separately).
Setup, Compatibility & Care
System Preparation: Before adding the X100 Inhibitor, ensure the heating system is clean and free of existing sludge or debris. A system cleaner might be necessary for this.
Dosage: Refer to the product instructions for the correct dosage based on your system's water capacity.
Application: The X100 can be added directly to the system via the filling loop, a radiator, or a dosing pot.
Compatibility: The X100 is compatible with all metals commonly found in central heating systems.
Care: Check the inhibitor level periodically using the simple test kit. Re-dose the system as needed, usually annually, or according to the test results.
