FAQs

How often should I add the inhibitor?

It is recommended to check the inhibitor concentration annually and re-dose if necessary. The product label will provide specific guidance.

Can I add the inhibitor to a hot system?

No, always allow the system to cool down and depressurize it before adding the inhibitor.

How much inhibitor should I use?

The amount depends on the water capacity of your central heating system. Refer to the instructions on the product label for the correct dosage.

What happens if I use too much inhibitor?

Using too much inhibitor is generally not harmful, but it is not necessary and a waste of product. Always follow dosage instructions.

Do I need to flush my system before adding the inhibitor?

It is highly recommended to flush the system before adding the inhibitor, especially if the system is old or has a history of problems.

What if my system has a leak after adding the inhibitor?

The inhibitor itself does not cause leaks. If a leak develops, it's likely due to another issue within the system. Consult a qualified heating engineer.

Is this inhibitor suitable for all types of boilers?

Yes, this inhibitor is suitable for most types of boilers. However, always check the product label for specific warnings and compatibility.

Where do I add the inhibitor?

The inhibitor can be added through a radiator valve or the filling loop, using the provided dosing funnel.

Troubleshooting

Poor heating performance after application.

Ensure the system was properly flushed and cleaned prior to inhibitor application. Also, check for airlocks and bleed radiators.

Boiler noise persists after application.

The inhibitor might not remove existing scale. A system flush may be required. Consult a heating engineer if the problem continues.

Inhibitor is not circulating throughout the system.

Ensure all radiator valves are open and the pump is functioning correctly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extends the lifespan of central heating components.
  • Improves heating efficiency, potentially lowering energy costs.
  • Reduces the risk of costly repairs due to corrosion and scale.
  • Easy to use with included funnel tool.

Cons

  • Requires periodic re-dosing for continued protection.
  • Incorrect dosage can be ineffective.
  • May not remove existing significant scale or corrosion – primarily preventative.
  • Requires draining and refilling of the system for initial application (in some cases).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. System Preparation: Before adding the inhibitor, ensure the system is cold and depressurized.
  2. Dosage: Use the correct amount as per the instructions on the bottle, typically based on the system's water capacity.
  3. Application: Use the provided dosing funnel to introduce the inhibitor into the system, usually through a radiator valve or the filling loop.
  4. Circulation: Once added, run the heating system for at least 30 minutes to circulate the inhibitor throughout.
  5. Compatibility: Ensure compatibility with your system's components. This inhibitor is designed for use with a wide range of metals commonly found in central heating systems. However, check the product label for specific warnings.
  6. Re-dosing: Check the inhibitor concentration annually using a test kit and re-dose as needed to maintain protection.
  7. Safety: Always follow safety guidelines, including wearing appropriate protective gear and avoiding contact with the liquid.
