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 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. Using,
for example Betz-Dearborn Sentinel X300 or X400 or Fernox
Superfloc Universal Cleanser. They should be used following the
flushing agent manufacturer’s instructions.
• System additives - corrosion inhibitors and flushing
agents/descalers should comply to BS7593 requirements, e.g.
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
