6.2 Central Heating Circuit
1. The appliance is suitable for fully pumped SEALED
SYSTEMS ONLY.
Treatment of Water Circulating Systems
•All recirculatory water systems will be subject to
corrosion unless an appropriate water treatment is
applied. This means that the efficiency of the system
will deteriorate as corrosion sludge accumulates within
the system, risking damage to pump and valves, boiler
noise and circulation problems.
• When upgrading existing systems that exhibit evidence
of sludging, it is advisable to clean the system prior to
treatment in order to remove any sludge and reduce
the likelihood of these deposits damaging new
components.
• When fitting new systems flux will be evident within
the system, which can lead to damage of system
components.
•All systems must be thoroughly drained and flushed
out. The recommended flushing and cleansing agents
are Betz-Dearborn Sentinel X300 or X400 and Fernox
Superfloc Universal Cleanser which should be used
following the flushing agent manufacturer’s instructions.
•System additives - corrosion inhibitors and flushing
agents/descalers should be suitable for aluminium and
comply to BS7593 requirements. The only system
additives recommended are Betz-Dearborn Sentinel
X100 and Fernox-Copal which should be used
following the inhibitor manufacturer’s instructions.
Failure to flush and add inhibitor to the system will
invalidate the appliance warranty.
•It is important to check the inhibitor concentration
after installation, system modification and at every
service in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions. (Test kits are available from inhibitor
stockists.)
•For information or advice regarding any of the above
contact the Baxi Helpline.

economy the fitting of a programmable room thermostat,
is recommended.
