3.2 Treatment of Water Circulating Systems
For optimum performance after installation, this boiler and its
associated central heating system must be flushed in
accordance with the guidelines given in BS7593: 1992
“Treatment of water in domestic hot water central heating
systems”. This must involve the use of a proprietary
cleanser, such as BetzDearborn’s Sentinel X300 or X400, or
Fernox’s Superfloc.
Full instructions are supplied with the products, but for
immediate information please contact BetzDearbom (0151
420 9563) or Fernox (01799 550811).
For long term protection against corrosion and scale, after
flushing it is recommended that an inhibitor such as
BetzDearborn’s Sentinel X100, or Fernox’s MB-1 or Copal is
dosed in accordance with the guidelines given in
BS7593:1992.
Failure to flush and add inhibitor to the system will
invalidate the appliance warranty.
