FAQs

The TF1 Omega Filter out performs other filters of its size by collecting significant quantities of system contaminants, and competes with many larger filters thanks to the cleverly designed internal mechanisms of the filter.

The HPS technology improves the overall collection of the filter, as well as the performance of the Neodymium magnet.

No, the TF1 Omega Filter has been designed to ensure that even when it reaches a level of maximum collection, system water can still pass through the filter, short-circuiting the body, and flowing freely through the manifold.

The TF1 Omega Filter is not only compatible with all Fernox products, it is designed to act as a dosing point for any Fernox Express products.

In circumstances where demineralised or softened water is used a quality inhibitor must be present to prevent corrosion from taking place. The TF1 Omega Filter offers a convenient and fast way of introducing an inhibitor into the system with no mess or fuss.

The TF1 Omega Filter collects all types of corrosion, scale and installation debris.

By preventing these contaminants from circulating within a heating system, energy efficiency levels are optimised and the inconvenience of a system breakdown coupled with a major repair or replacement cost can be avoided.

The TF1 Omega Filter is a high performance, nickel plated, in-line system filter, which is designed for domestic heating systems.

It is produced with quality materials and components and has been manufactured using precision engineering. Combining the strength of a powerful Neodymium magnet with Hydronic Particle Separation technology, the TF1 Omega Filter offers a superior collection capacity for both magnetic and non-magnetic debris.

Protector + Filter Fluid should only be used in combination with an in-line system filter, which can trap and contain the debris in the system before safe removal.

It is ideal for use in circumstances where a system has previously been cleaned or flushed but subsequently has not been adequately protected so further corrosion has taken place. It is also suitable for systems with poor design or low flow rates which make conventional cleaning difficult. Protector + Filter Fluid enables ongoing purging and collection of system debris. Treatment levels should be checked annually as part of a maintenance and service programme to ensure full protection.

Yes, Fernox Boiler Noise Silencer F2 is designed for use with any Fernox Protector.

It should be left permanently in the system with Protector F1 or Protector + Filter Fluid and replaced or topped up at the same time.

This is an innovative, universal inhibitor package which uses the proven inhibition qualities of Fernox Protector F1 with an active dispersant.

This unique formulation is designed to detect, lift and deliver magnetic and non- magnetic debris to an in- line system filter.

Fernox Protectors are suitable for use on systems of all ages. However, it would be  advantageous to clean and flush the system with Fernox Cleaner F3 to remove  sludge before adding the Protector F1.

Alternatively, the universal Fernox Filter Fluid+ Protector can deliver sludge and debris to an existing in-line filter or a newly installed TF1 Filter, whilst protecting the system against further corrosion formation.

Fernox Cleaner  F3 should ideally circulate around the system for at least one hour, or up to a week, after which it should be drained out and the system flushed/ cleaned before adding Fernox Protector F1 or Protector + Filter Fluid together with a Fernox TF1 Filter to protect the system from further corrosion and scale formation.

Yes, all Fernox internal leak sealers, such as Fernox Leak Sealer F4, are safe for use with combination and other low water content boilers.

They will not block valves or vents. Leak Sealer F4 Express is recommended for all pressurised systems as this can be added in 30 seconds via a radiator, filling loop or Fernox TF1 Filter, without the need to drain the system.

One litre of water weighs 1 kg, therefore 2 kg of DS40 System Cleaner per 100 litres of system volume will make a 2% solution.

You should only drain central heating system water into the foul water drain or a septic tank.

Never drain system water into road drains or rain water gullies as these go directly into rivers. Never pour water from a central heating system onto the garden or lawn.

Normally a treatment will last the life of the system but an annual check to determine whether further dosing is necessary is recommended.

If the system is drained, it will need to be re-treated with a further full dose of Protector. You can check if the system is properly dosed using a Fernox Protector Test Kit.

No, overdosing is not detrimental to the system. It is important to ensure that sufficient Protector is present in the system.

There is a test kit and a postal testing service to check the Protector concentration. Refer to Protector Test Kit product data sheet for further guidance.

One bottle of Fernox Protector F1 or Protector + Filter Fluid will treat a typical system of ten single panel radiators – double panel radiators, count as two radiators.

If the calculated dose rate is in between pack sizes, dose to the higher figure.

Boiler noise results from localised boiling of the water. This happens when the inside surface of the boiler becomes too hot due to scale or baked- on sludge deposits.

All systems over five years can suffer noise and new boilers in old systems are especially vulnerable. Add Fernox Boiler Noise Silencer F2 and / or de-scale the boiler with Fernox DS40 System Cleaner and protect with Fernox Protector F1 or Protector + Filter Fluid.

The following guide to estimating system volumes has been developed, based on field experience. Commercial systems (pressurised):

Multiply the boiler output rating in kWs by the figure detailed below (for the relevant type of system) to give an estimate of the total system volume. Allow an additional 10% (multiply by 1.1) for open vented systems of all types.

Useful conversion factors:

Systems comprising perimeter heating, convectors, etc. 6 litres/kW
Ventilation systems (air handling units, fan coils, etc.) 8 litres/kW
Steel panel radiators 11 litres/kW
Cast iron radiators 14 litres/kW
‘Distant’ heating systems in large sprawling buildings 20 litres/kW
Underfloor heating 23 litres/kW

Domestic systems:

All small and microbore domestic installations 6 litres/kW n
  • The domestic system volume can be estimated by counting the number of single panel radiators in a property and multiplying by 10
  • Remember to count double panel radiators as two single panels
  • It is also important to consider thermal stores, which can add up to 100 litres to system capacity

Leaks in water systems can result from external frost damage, dry solder joints, accidental perforation during maintenance or decoration, or internal corrosion.

Sealing internal leaks (central heating systems only)
Small leaks, including pressure drops on combination boilers and other sealed systems, can be repaired using Fernox Leak Sealer F4. Each Leak Sealer F4 product treats 100 litres or up to 10 single radiators.

On an open vented system, pour the Leak Sealer F4 into the tank and simply draw off 5-10 litres of water from the drain cock initially returning this to the header tank to ensure that no treated water is thrown away. Repeat the previous step until all Leak Sealer F4 has been absorbed into the circulating system.

Switch on the circulating pump and apply at least a small amount of heat to achieve even distribution.

An alternative solution for dosing is to inject Fernox Leak Sealer F4 Express or Fernox Superconcentrate Leak Sealer F4 directly into the radiator via the bleed valve.

Repairing external leaks (to all types of water pipes)
To repair leaking external pipes and fittings, use Fernox LS-X External Leak Sealer with a bandage of PTFE tape or another suitable reinforcement tape.

After turning off the water and draining down to remove water pressure from the leak, apply Fernox LS-X External Leak Sealer to a dry surface around the area of leakage. Wrap the pipe with a layer of PTFE tape or other reinforcement tape with 50% overlap and extend well beyond the area of the leak.

Immediately apply repeat coats of Fernox LS-X External Leak Sealer and further layers of bandage to form a repair about 5mm in total thickness before allowing to cure.

Soft and hard limescale on radiator walls can drastically reduce their ability to heat rooms efficiently. The problem often revolves around the boiler heat exchanger where the temperature is hottest, but deposits in radiators and pipework also lessen the effectiveness of the whole system.

It is therefore important to consider the whole central heating system when checking and establishing why its efficiency has dropped.

What causes fuel wastage?
There are two main forms of deposits found in heating systems:

Part L of the Building Regulations for England and Wales 2006 states that new all wet central heating systems should be pre-commission cleaned and treated with a central heating inhibitor. The correct method for inhibiting a central heating system is explained in a British Standard Code of Practice BS 7593:2006. If the cleanliness of a central heating system is maintained from the start, its life span can be extended as well as design efficiency optimised. However, if the efficiency of an existing system has been reduced due to a lack of cleaning or insufficient inhibition protection, remedial action should be taken. Fernox Cleaner F3 and Fernox Powerflushing Cleaner F5 are both designed to recondition systems and are particularly effective if the system is contaminated with black iron oxide sludge. Fernox DS40 System Cleaner should be used if limescale deposition is evident. However, it is important to note that cleaning or descaling will never fully restore the heating system to its original condition. After cleaning, the system should be protected against further corrosion or scaling by using Fernox Protector F1 or Fernox Protector MB-1, or in systems where a system filter has been installed, Fernox Protector + Filter Fluid can be used.

  • In hard water areas, limescale forms mainly on the hottest surfaces. Low water content and tubular boilers are particularly prone. High skin temperatures can attract lime even from relatively soft waters, but these are unlikely to cause limescale problems. However, temperature is not the only factor that can promote limescale deposition. The design of components or choice of material and surface finish can all increase or decrease the probability of scaling. As modern condensing boilers have far narrower flow channels in the heat exchanger than older cast iron boilers, less deposition is required to cause noticeably detrimental effects to system performance. Limescale deposition that affects system performance can begin from waters containing as little as 100ppm of hardness.
  • Black iron oxide sludge is produced continuously in all untreated installations, even in the near absence of air or dissolved oxygen, mainly due to electrolytic corrosion. If there are higher levels of dissolved oxygen (perhaps because of an aeration fault) it compounds the problem. Iron oxide is five times heavier than water and settles in areas of reduced flow such as radiators.

As well as wasting fuel, these deposits cause other problems such as boiler noise and component failure, notably relating to circulator pumps and boiler heat exchangers.

Part L of the Building Regulations for England and Wales 2006 states that new all wet central heating systems should be pre-commission cleaned and treated with a central heating inhibitor. The correct method for inhibiting a central heating system is explained in a British Standard Code of Practice BS 7593:2006.

If the cleanliness of a central heating system is maintained from the start, its life span can be extended as well as design efficiency optimised. However, if the efficiency of an existing system has been reduced due to a lack of cleaning or insufficient inhibition protection, remedial action should be taken.

Fernox Cleaner F3 and Fernox Powerflushing Cleaner F5 are both designed to recondition systems and are particularly effective if the system is contaminated with black iron oxide sludge. Fernox DS40 System Cleaner should be used if limescale deposition is evident. However, it is important to note that cleaning or descaling will never fully restore the heating system to its original condition. After cleaning, the system should be protected against further corrosion or scaling by using Fernox Protector F1 or Fernox Protector MB-1, or in systems where a system filter has been installed, Fernox Filter Fluid+ Protector can be used.

Make sure the system is turned off and allow radiators to cool down (1). Select a radiator and shut both the wheel-head and lock shield valves (2). If a thermostatic radiator valve (TRV) is fitted, close it by turning it to the minimum setting.

Having removed the air vent pin using a cloth to absorb any escaping water (3). Screw the Fernox Express injection nozzle into the air vent (after cutting to the right diameter to fit tightly (4)). Fit the tube to the adapter and screw onto the canister. Attach the other end of the tube onto the nozzle in the radiator (5).

Re-open the wheel-head valve (6) (or TRV) and inject all the content of the Fernox Express by squeezing the trigger for 30 seconds (7). After the product has been dispensed close the wheel-head valve (8) (or TRV), remove the injector nozzle and tighten the air vent pin (9). Open both radiator valves, turn on the central heating system (10) and let it run for 15 minutes to allow the Express to disperse around the system.

Fernox Express can also be for dosed via the system filling loop using the appropriate special adapter supplied with the Express product as well as via the bleed valve on a fitted Fernox TF1 Filter. The whole process takes less than two minutes.

The damaging effects that limescale can have on the lifespan of a boiler and the energy efficiency of a central heating system are significant.

Part L of the Building Regulations stipulates that where mains hard water exceeds 200 ppm, feed water to water heaters and the hot water circuit of combination boilers must have a scale reducing device fitted.

Why is descaling important

Limescale prevention
An effective method of treating water to avoid the build-up of limescale is to install an in-line Fernox Scale Reducer. An Electrolytic Scale Reducer will provide whole house protection, while a Magnetic Scale Reducer is suitable for single appliances. Both products can be easily connected directly onto 15 mm or 22mm horizontal or vertical pipe work using compression fittings or 15mm horizontal or vertical pipework using 15mm pushfit fittings.

Limescale removal
Where limescale has already formed it can be removed from a hot water system, including the storage cylinder, immersion heater, pipework and taps using Fernox DS-3 Cleaner.

After turning off the boiler and/or immersion heater, tie-up the ball valve or isolate the mains water supply to the cold water storage tank. Then open all hot water taps before draining the entire system, and close the taps again afterwards.

Having dissolved the Fernox DS-3 in warm water at the maximum concentration of 1kg per 10 litres of water, introduce the solution into the cold water storage tank either via a funnel connected to rubber or plastic tubing or directly, if the cold water storage tank serves the hot water cylinder only. Refill the system until the water level in the cold water storage tank just covers the cylinder feed connection. After this is done, turn on the boiler and/or immersion heater and heat the acid solution in the hot water cylinder to 50-60°C. Maintain this temperature for at least four hours, opening all hot water taps briefly every 10-15 minutes to allow a half to one pint (284 to 568ml) of acid solution to run into a plastic container. Finally, turn off the boiler and immersion heater, and drain the hot water system completely, bailing out any residual water from the cold water storage tank.

Release the ball valve of the cold water storage tank and thoroughly rinse the entire hot water supply system, opening all hot water taps. Where applicable the cold water system should also be rinsed, as some acid may have entered via the cold water storage tank. Any waste solutions of DS-3 Cleaner should be neutralised with Fernox System Neutraliser before discharging to the drain.

Corrosion occurs when a refined metal reverts back to its natural ore state. Corrosion in water systems takes place when two areas of metal with a different electrical charge are in contact or linked via a conductor such as water.

Corrosion occurs when a refined metal reverts back to its natural ore state. Corrosion in water systems takes place when two areas of metal with a different electrical charge are in contact or linked via a conductor such as water.

What should be done?
An inhibitor should be added to system water to reduce the rate at which corrosion takes place. To determine the existing level of protection simply use the Fernox Protector Test Kit to measure the concentration of inhibitor within the system for an instant on-site result.

Over and under-dosing with inhibitors
Although manufacturers specify a recommended dose rate for their product, it is important to find out how a product performs when over or under-dosed. Anodic passivating products will require a sufficient dose to ‘coat’ the internal surfaces of the system, plus some excess to maintain this film. If the dose is below the level required to achieve sufficient protection, exposed areas of metal will continue to corrode. Over-dosing with anodic inhibitors is unlikely to have any detrimental effect.

Negative impact of contaminants
However, corrosion inhibitors will not be fully effective if under-dosed, but will have a partially protective effect. Negative impact of contaminants The presence of contamination by flux residues, existing corrosion sludge, residual cleaning agent, or even washing-up liquid may adversely affect the performance of an inhibitor and lead to corrosion. To make sure an inhibitor performs as effectively as possible, it is advisable to clean the system thoroughly before treating. the Fernox Water Test Kit, the Fernox F3/ F5 Cleaner Test Kit or the Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) Meter can be used to check that a system has been adequately cleaned and flushed before an inhibitor is added.

Systems should be cleaned when commissioning a new system or installing a new boiler within an existing system. The purpose of cleaning and flushing is to remove mineral oil, harmful flux residues and installation debris which can cause corrosion.

Cleaning existing systems removes magnetite (black iron oxide), haematite (red iron oxide) and limescale improving the circulation and reducing fuel wastage and boiler noise.

New systems domestic 
Fernox Cleaner F3 or Fernox Powerflushing Cleaner F5 should be added before commissioning the system. Simply circulate Fernox Cleaner F3 or Fernox Powerflushing Cleaner F5 for at least one hour when the boiler is switched on, after which the system should be drained and thoroughly flushed until the water runs clear.

Existing systems domestic
Ideally the system should be powerflushed to remove any existing treatment, sludge and contaminant. Fernox Cleaner F3 or Cleaner F5 should be added to system water and circulated hot for at least one hour after which the system must be drained and flushed until the water runs clear. The cleaning time can be extended to up to one week for systems which suffer from hardened iron oxides and limescale.

For both new and existing systems, a Fernox TDS Meter should be used to ensure efficient flushing by comparing the readings of the system water and mains water. The system is thoroughly flushed if the readings are within 10% of each other.  Alternatively, the Fernox Cleaner F3/F5 Test Kit can be used to determine the level of cleaner residues remaining in the system.

Protecting new and existing systems
In accordance with Part L of the Building Regulations, after cleaning with Fernox Cleaner F3 or Fernox Powerflushing Cleaner F5, add Fernox Protector F1 with the final fill water for long-term protection against corrosion and limescale.

All Fernox Protector/Inhibitor products are compatible with commonly used metals in central heating systems, including aluminium, and are suitable for use with plastic pipework. For continued protection, check Protector/Inhibitor levels annually using the Fernox Protector Test Kit or the Fernox System Health Check postal service and top up product level as required.

Boiler noise is usually the result of limescale deposition within the heat exchanger of a boiler. This condition is worsened if magnetite is also present in the system, as this combines with the limescale to form a much harder deposit.

Boiler noise is usually the result of limescale deposition within the heat exchanger of a boiler. This condition is worsened if magnetite is also present in the system, as this combines with the limescale to form a much harder deposit. Other sediment forming debris such as sand and brick dust entering the system during installation can also become part of the hardened deposit. Local water conditions also play an important part, particularly the scale-forming solids dissolved in the supply water.

Boiler noise is directly related to the rapid condensation or implosion of steam in water. Localised boiling develops on the surface of the deposit, and small steam bubbles are created that make a rattling noise as they leave the surface and travel around the system.

When installed into existing systems, new boilers can become excessively fouled soon afterwards by oxide sludge present in the system water. Replacing a boiler can disturb soft sludge and loosen sediment in other parts of the system, causing these contaminants to be transported by the system water and re-deposited in the new heat exchanger.

The same phenomenon can occur as a result of circulator replacement if flow rates change. The risk of sediment and sludge deposition in new boilers can be avoided by cleaning the system as part of the installation process. Guidance on correct cleaning and treatment can be found in BS 7593:2006 Code of Practice for Treatment of Water in Domestic Hot Water Central Heating Systems.

What should be done?

Fernox Boiler Noise Silencer F2 is specifically formulated to significantly reduce boiler noise by reducing the surface tension of the system water. The reduced surface tension prevents large bubbles from being able to form and so the associated noise is greatly lessened.  Fernox Boiler Noise Silencer F2 efficiently treats the effects of a noisy boiler until the causes can be treated with a full clean of the system.

Fernox DS40 Descaler and Cleaner selectively dissolves scale deposits without attacking the metals commonly found in central heating s62486ystems. However this acid-based cleaner should only be used in new installations or in systems less than 10 years old.

Older systems that have been untreated for periods of time may have existing leaks that are temporarily plugged with corrosion debris. Installations with a history of radiator corrosion failures should not be acid cleansed, as other radiators are likely to have deep corrosion pits or complete perforations.

Older installations can be substantially improved, however, by dispersing the sludge with Fernox Cleaner F3 or Fernox Fernox Powerflushing Cleaner F5, followed by powerflushing with plain water.

After removing all soft sludge from older installations, separate boiler de-scaling may be helpful to resolve the problem. In order to do this, all the radiators should be isolated after which the system can be descaled with Fernox DS40 System Cleaner over a period of time – up to 24 hours.  This process should be followed by neutralisation with Fernox System Neutraliser before powerflushing with plain water.

Algae in feed and expansion cisterns Leathery skins or films of algae on the surface of expansion cisterns in open vented systems are caused by fungal mould growths. It occurs when the expansion cistern is not properly covered causing dust, insects and spores to be able to enter the water.

Algae in feed and expansion cisterns
Underfloor heating systems are also susceptible to microbial growth due to the lower temperatures at which these systems operate.

Gas in the system
Microbiological fermentation in a system could result in flammable gas. Methane gas, which burns with a blue flame, is most often found.Hydrogen sulphide (emitting a ‘bad egg’ smell) may also occur, and is associated with the presence of corrosive sulphate-reducing bacteria.

Bacterial or yeast infestations caused by organisms entering the system from the supply water; debris in new systems or through air contact in open expansion cisterns can also occur.

What should be done?

To combat algae in open vented systems, empty the cistern and disinfect with Fernox AF-10Biocide or Fernox LP Sterox. Refill the tank, adding the correct dose of AF-10 Biocide (refer to the instructions on the container)and top up the concentration levels of Protector F1. Ensure the tank is fitted with a purpose-made lid to prevent future contamination of the tank.

When there is gas in a system,use Fernox AF-10 Biocide to control microbiological growths and prevent gas build-up. Where contamination is significant,several repeat doses of biocide may be required: in such situations, it may be appropriate to drain and retreat the entire system.

Bacterial contamination in air and ground source heat pumps
When there is bacterial contamination in air and ground source heat pumps, Fernox HPCleaner can be used.

Before use, it should be diluted using no more than 600 litres ofmains water per one litre of HPCleaner (equivalent to 600 metres of 40mm pipework). The ground collector must be flushed out with fresh mains water before being filled with the diluted product.Having circulated the HP Cleaner for at least one hour, after whichit should be flushed out until thewater runs clear. Fill the ground collector with Fernox HP-5 /HP-5c or HP-15 / HP-15c depending on the level of frost protection required.

Minerals in chalk or limestone rock collect as water permeates through the ground and collects in aquifers. These minerals remain within the water and are carried into the domestic water supply.

What causes limescale deposition?
They inevitably reach central heating and water systems, where they build-up over time to cause blockages in pipework, efficiency losses and the premature failure of components. These problems can arise in both the primary water system (the central heating system) and secondary (household hot water) system.

The mineral deposits, collectively known as limescale, consist primarily of calcium and magnesium carbonates which are generally insoluble. Limescale occurs when these deposits are formed as a result of heating water that contains soluble bicarbonate salts (which are thermally unstable and break down to form carbonates).

There are several factors that contribute to the build-up of limescale, including:

  • High (temporary) hardness
  • Elevated pH (alkalinity) of the water
  • Elevated temperature

What should be done?
Prevention is always better than cure. In central heating systems, the addition of any Fernox Protector F1 will prevent deposition of limescale.

For domestic hot water systems, Fernox offers a range of scale reducers designed to provide either whole house or single appliance protection.

For whole house protection, the Fernox Electrolytic Scale Reducer should be installed on to the mains water supply to the property. To protect single appliances such as the boiler, the Fernox Magnetic Scale Reducer is ideal.

If the central heating system is already contaminated with limescale it should be cleaned using an acid-based cleaner such as Fernox DS40 Descaler & Cleaner. However, descaling alone will not restore the central heating system to its original condition. After descaling it is imperative to protect the system against further scaling by adding any Fernox Protector F1 or if a system filter is fitted Fernox Protector + Filter Fluid

If limescale formation has occurred within the hot water system, individual appliances such as kettles, showerheads and heat exchangers can be descaled using Fernox DS-3 Limescale Remover. For open vented systems Fernox Superconcentrate Limescale Preventer is an ideal way to keep system water scale-free.

Disinfection is a process which destroys or irreversibly inactivates micro-organisms, reducing their numbers to a safe level.

Its purpose is to leave a clean water supply. It must be carried out in the following circumstances:

  • During routine annual system maintenance
  • New installations n After major system extensions or alterations
  • After installing underground pipework, except localised repairs which require prior disinfection of components
  • Where it is suspected that contamination may have occurred: i.e. fouling by sewage, or if systems have been inspected or repaired
  • Where a system has not been in regular use nor regularly flushed

What should be done?
Fernox offers a silver catalysed hydrogen peroxide treatment, Fernox LP Sterox.

Fernox LP Sterox
This product treats a wide spectrum of biocidal activity including all water-borne bacteria and viruses. It is particularly valuable in modern water system hygiene management where more conventional treatments such as chlorination are unsuitable. Fernox LP Sterox is supplied in one litre bottles. This will treat 300 litres of system water. After treatment, it is not critical that Fernox LP Sterox is flushed from the water supply as it naturally decomposes to water and oxygen.

Water should be run from each outlet and tested with a Fernox LP Sterox Test Strip until the concentration in the water is less than 200ppm.

It is an easy to use dip strip that tests central heating systems for the correct concentration of inhibitor, to ensure that the system is fully protected and sludge and debris is prevented from forming and building up.

A core requirement under BS 7593:2019 is that central heating systems are tested annually, to help maintain system health and to identify and rectify any issues before they cause damage to the system. The Benchmark Commissioning Checklist further supports this practice to evidence the correct servicing and installation of boilers. The onsite Express Inhibitor Test makes compliance with these industry standards easy.

Simply dip the test strip into the system water and it will instantly change colour. By comparing the test strip to the colour chart label on the bottle, installers can assess whether the system water includes the correct concentration of inhibitor. A fully protected system will have inhibitor levels of 100ppm or above – and will pass the test. However, if the test fails and a result of less than 100ppm is received, the system should be re-dosed.

Yes! the Express Inhibitor Test is a universal test that will check for the presence of all molybdate based inhibitors within the system water.

The results are instant!

If the dip test shows less than 100ppm, installers can immediately resolve the issue by adding a high-quality inhibitor such as Fernox Protector F1 or where a filter is fitted, Protector+ Filter Fluid. The test can be re-taken once the inhibitor has circulated to confirm the level has been met.

With the initial dose, its key to make sure the system water is circulated properly so that the inhibitor is sufficiently mixed. Fernox recommend that you let the system circulate for at least 15 minutes. Also having the system on hot will help speed this up.

It’s easy to keep track of test results with the free to download Fernox Water Test App, which installers can use to manage and evidence each test. Using the in-app camera, users take a picture of the test strip and select its colour to generate the pass or fail result. Using this process will auto-generate a PDF certificate with the result to your email address and this acts as evidence that the test has been completed and the system is fully protected. For ease, all of your submissions will be stored in your account for you to view and export on demand. If a test fails, installers can also demonstrate that action has been taken and the system subsequently re-tested to receive a positive result.

BS 7593:2019 recommends that the inhibitor should either be re-dosed at 5-year intervals or, a more comprehensive laboratory test is conducted every five years to provide a more in-depth analysis, and where needed, establish targeted action to resolve issues and restore system efficiency. The Fernox Water Quality Test includes everything needed to take a sample of the system water and send it off to the Fernox laboratory for full analysis.

The Fernox Express Inhibitor Test is available from all major merchants and online plumbing retailers.

Filter Fluid+ Protector należy stosować tylko w połączeniu z przewodowym układem filtrów, który może wychwycić i zatrzymać osad w układzie do czasu jego bezpiecznego usunięcia.

Jest idealny w sytuacjach, kiedy system był już wcześniej czyszczony lub przepłukiwany, ale nie został potem właściwie zabezpieczony, więc doszło do pogłębienia korozji. Jest także odpowiedni do źle zaprojektowanych systemów lub systemów z wolnym przepływem, które utrudniają tradycyjne czyszczenie. Filter Fluid+ Protector umożliwia ciągłe oczyszczanie i zbieranie osadów z systemu. W celu zapewnienia pełnej ochrony stan środka zabezpieczającego powinien być sprawdzany raz na rok w ramach czynności konserwacyjno-naprawczych.

Tak, wszystkie uszczelniacze wewnętrzne Fernox, takie jak Fernox Leak Sealer F4, mogą być bez obaw stosowane w kotłach kondensacyjnych i innych z niską zawartością wody.

Nie zablokują zaworów, ani ujść. Uszczelniacz Sealer F4 Express zalecany jest do systemów pod ciśnieniem, ponieważ może być dodany w 30 sekund przez grzejnik, zawór do napełniania lub filtr Fernox TF1 Filter bez konieczności spuszczania wody z systemu.

Tak, Fernox Boiler Noise Silencer F2 stosuje się razem z Fernox Protector.

Powinien na stałe znajdować się w systemie wraz z Protector F1 lub Filter Fluid+ Protector i razem z nimi być wymieniany lub uzupełniany.

A Filter Fluid+Protectort kizárólag elhúzás nélkül, sorosan beépített szűrőt tartalmazó rendszerekbe lehet alkalmazni – a szűrő összegyűjti a hordalékot, ami aztán biztonságosan eltávolítható.

Alkalmazása ideális abban az esetben, amikor a rendszer korábban már át lett mosva, de nem lett hozzáadva inhibitor, így utána korrózió lépett fel. Szintén ideális rosszul kiépített, vagy alacsony áramlási értékű rendszerekben, ahol a hagyományos tisztítás nehézségekbe ütközik. A Filter Fluid + Protector lehetővé teszi a rendszer folyamatos tisztítását, miközben a hordalékot folyamatosan el lehet távolítani.A rendszer teljes védelme érdekében fontos, hogy az éves karbantartás során a folyadék koncentrációs szintjét is ellenőrizzük.

Igen, a Boiler Noise Silencer F2-t kifejezetten a Fernox Protectorral történő együttes alkalmazásra tervezték.

A Protector F1-gyel vagy a Filter Fluid + Protectorral együtt folyamatosan a rendszerben kell lennie, valamint ezekkel a termékekkel együtt kell feltölteni és utántölteni.

A Filter Fluid+Protector egy innovatív termék, amely az F1 Protector már bizonyított kvalitásait ötvözi egy aktív diszpergálószerrel.

Ezen egyedülálló összetételű termék célja, hogy fellazítsa és a szűrőbe juttassa a mágnesezhető és nem mágnesezhető szennyeződéseket egyaránt.

A Fernox Protectorok minden korú rendszerek kezelésére alkalmasak.A legelőnyösebb megoldás átmosni a rendszert F3 Cleanerrel, majd utána hozzáadni az F1 Protectort.

A másik lehetőség a Fernox Filter Fluid+Protector használata, amely segít eljuttatni a szennyeződéseket a szűrőhöz, miközben védi a rendszert a további korróziótól és vízkőképződéstől.

Ideális esetben a Cleaner F3-nak egy órától egy hétig terjedő időtartamig kell keringenie a rendszerben, utána le kell engedni és átmosni a rendszert. Ezután kell hozzáadni az F1 Protectort vagy a Filter Fluid Protectort a Fernox TF1 szűrővel a rendszer korrózióval és vízkőképződéssel szembeni védelme érdekében.

Igen, az összes Fernox szivárgástömítő (pl. a Leak Sealer F4) alkalmazható kombi és egyéb, kis víztartalmú kazán esetén.

A Leak Sealer termékek nem fogják eltömíteni a szelepeket. A Leak Sealer F1 Express minden nyomás alatt álló rendszerhez ajánlott, mivel 30 másodperc alatt, a rendszer leengedése nélkül a vízhez adható a radiátoron, feltöltőkörön vagy egy Fernox TF1 szűrőn keresztül.

Egy liter víz tömege 1 kg, tehát 2 kg DS40 System Cleanerre van szükség 100 liter 2%-os oldathoz.

A központi fűtési rendszerben keringő vizet kizárólag a szennyvízcsatornába, vagy pedig szennyvízülepítő tartályba szabad üríteni.

Semmilyen esetben ne engedje a központi fűtési rendszerben keringő vizet az utcákon található szennyvízelfolyókba vagy ereszcsatornákba, mivel ezek közvetlenül folyókba ömlenek. A kertbe vagy gyepre sem szabad kiönteni az elhasznált fűtővizet.

Általában egy kezelés elegendő a rendszer élettartamának végéig, érdemes azonban évente ellenőrizni, nincs-e szükség némi utántöltésre.

If the system is drained, it will need to be re-treated with a further full dose of Protector. You can check if the system is properly dosed using a Fernox Protector Test Kit.
Ha leengedésre kerül a rendszer, újra kell kezelni egy teljes adagnyi Protector-ral. Amennyiben nem biztos benne, hogy kellő koncentrációban van jelen a fűtésrendszerben, alkalmazza a Fernox Test Kit-et.

Nem, a túladagolás nem lehetséges. Fontos biztosítani, hogy a megfelelő koncentráció legyen a rendszerben.

Egy palacknyi F1 Protector vagy Filter Fluid+Protector elég egy átlagos, tíz radiátort ellátó fűtésrendszerhez.

If the calculated dose rate is in between pack sizes, dose to the higher figure. Amennyiben a kiszámolt mennyiség két csomagméret között van, alkalmazza a nagyobbik mennyiséget.

A kazánzaj oka az, hogy a kazán belső felülete az üledékek vagy vízkő miatt túl forró, és így a víz egy adott ponton forr.

Minden öt évnél idősebb rendszerben előfordulhat kazánzaj, a régi rendszerekbe beépített új bojlerek kifejezetten hajlamosak erre. Adjon a rendszerhez Fernox Boiler NoiseSilencer F2-t, vagy vízkőtlenítse a kazánt Fernox DS40 System Cleanerrel, és adjon hozzá Protector F1-et vagy Filter Fluid+Protectort.

Power Cleaner F8 is a concentrated formulation supplied in 500ml bottles, to reduce packaging waste. Just one bottle treats larger systems of 130 litres, 16 radiators or 250 sqm of underfloor systems and one dose is sufficient for cleaning the central heating systems of up to 97% of all UK homes (or larger heating systems).

Power Cleaner F8 is pH neutral and is not acidic, therefore no neutralisation is needed. This saves time on-site.

Citrate action is a term used to describe the powerful chelating effect that the citrate ion has on metal ions. This strong binding effect means that corrosion debris is lifted and transported out of the system during a system clean.

No. Whilst Power Cleaner F8 is formulated with citric acid, this is neutralised in-situ to form the neutral citrate species which has such an effective cleaning action.

You will get a very good system clean with both products. However, if the system is especially dirty it is recommended to use the stronger Power Cleaner F8 which will have an increased dispersion effect, even at low temperatures.

Power Cleaner F8 is a pH neutral cleaner which has low environmental impact and can be safely disposed via foul drain.

Power Cleaner F8 can be dosed into the system up to a week before flushing. This high performance, strong cleaner is effective after one hour circulating under normal operating conditions.

Power Cleaner is phosphate, nitrate and nitrate-free and is developed to exceed all regulatory and legislative guidelines in regard to the environment impact of the formulation. It is compatible for use in mixed metal heating systems, including aluminium.

Το Power Cleaner F8 είναι μια συμπυκνωμένη σύνθεση που παρέχεται σε φιάλες των 500 ml, για τη μείωση των απορριμμάτων συσκευασίας. Μόνο ένα μπουκάλι επεξεργάζεται συστήματα μεγαλύτερα των 130 λίτρων, 16 καλοριφέρ ή 250 τ.μ. ενδοδαπέδια συστήματα.

To Power Cleaner F8 έχει ουδέτερο pH και δεν είναι όξινο, επομένως δεν απαιτείται ουδετεροποίηση. Αυτό εξοικονομεί χρόνο στην εγκατάσταση.

Η κιτρική δράση είναι ένας όρος που χρησιμοποιείται για να περιγράψει το ισχυρό χηλικό αποτέλεσμα που έχει το κιτρικό ιόν στα μεταλλικά ιόντα. Αυτό το ισχυρό αποτέλεσμα δέσμευσης σημαίνει ότι τα υπολείμματα διάβρωσης ανυψώνονται και μεταφέρονται έξω από το σύστημα κατά τη διάρκεια του καθαρισμού συστήματος.

Όχι. Ενώ το Power Cleaner F8 περιέχει κιτρικό οξύ, αυτό εξουδετερώνεται επί τόπου για να σχηματίσει το ουδέτερο είδος κιτρικού που έχει τόσο αποτελεσματική καθαριστική δράση.

Όπως με κάθε καθαριστικό συστήματος, υπάρχει πάντα ένας μικρός κίνδυνος ο καθαρισμός να απομακρύνει τα υπολείμματα του συστήματος που προκαλούσαν διαρροές. Ωστόσο, ενώ το Power Cleaner F8 είναι ένα γρήγορο, βαρέως τύπου καθαριστικό συστήματος, είναι επίσης ένα από τα ασφαλέστερα καθαριστικά που έχει αναπτύξει ποτέ η Fernox, γενικό καθαριστικό που κυκλοφορεί σήμερα στην αγορά, παρέχοντας προστασία στα μέταλλα του συστήματος ενώ πραγματοποιείται αποτελεσματικός καθαρισμός (μέχρι σε μια εβδομάδα).

Και με τα δύο προϊόντα θα έχετε πολύ καλό καθαρισμό συστήματος . Ωστόσο, εάν το σύστημα είναι ιδιαίτερα βρώμικο, συνιστάται να χρησιμοποιήσετε το ισχυρότερο Power Cleaner F8 το οποίο θα έχει αυξημένο αποτέλεσμα διασκόρπισης, ακόμη και σε χαμηλές θερμοκρασίες.

Εάν το σύστημα έχει ένα συγκεκριμένο πρόβλημα αλάτων και χρειάζεται αφαλάτωση, μπορεί να είναι απαραίτητο να χρησιμοποιήσετε το όξινο Fernox DS40 Descaler & Cleaner για να αντιδράσει αποτελεσματικά και να διαλύσει τα άλατα. Το DS40 Descaler & Cleaner θα κινητοποιήσει επίσης και άλλα υπολείμματα συστήματος, όπως μαγνητίτη και υποπροϊόντα διάβρωσης.
Εάν το σύστημα χρειάζεται κυρίως αφαίρεση λάσπης, το Power Cleaner F8 θα κάνει εξαιρετική δουλειά στην απομάκρυνση του μαγνητίτη και άλλων υποπροϊόντων διάβρωσης. Το Power Cleaner F8 είναι επίσης μια ασφαλέστερη επιλογή για παλιά ή κατεστραμμένα συστήματα που μπορεί να μην είναι κατάλληλα για όξινα καθαριστικά, όπως το DS40 Descaler & Cleaner.

Το Power Cleaner F8 είναι ένα καθαριστικό ουδέτερου pH που έχει χαμηλές περιβαλλοντικές επιπτώσεις και μπορεί να απορριφθεί με ασφάλεια μέσω της αποχέτευσης.

Το Power Cleaner F8 μπορεί να προστεθείστο σύστημα και να κυκλοφορήσει έως μία εβδομάδα πριν από το ξέπλυμα. Αυτό το ισχυρό καθαριστικό υψηλής απόδοσης είναι αποτελεσματικό μετά από μία ώρα κυκλοφορίας υπό κανονικές συνθήκες λειτουργίας.

Το Power Cleaner δεν περιέχει φωσφορικά, νιτρικά και νιτρώδη και έχει αναπτυχθεί ώστε να ξεπερνάει όλες τις νομοθετικές οδηγίες και τους κανονισμούς σχετικά με τις περιβαλλοντικές επιπτώσεις του σκευάσματος. Είναι συμβατό για χρήση σε μικτά μεταλλικά συστήματα θέρμανσης, συμπεριλαμβανομένου του αλουμινίου.

Power Cleaner F8 est une formule concentrée fournie en bouteilles de 500 ml, afin de réduire les déchets d’emballage. Une seule bouteille permet de traiter des systèmes de 130 litres, 16 radiateurs ou 250 m² de plancher chauffant.

Power Cleaner F8 a un pH neutre et n’est pas acide, il n’est donc pas nécessaire de le neutraliser. Cela permet de gagner du temps sur place.

L’action du citrate est un terme utilisé pour décrire le puissant effet chélateur que l’ion citrate exerce sur les ions métalliques. Cet effet de liaison puissant signifie que les débris de corrosion sont soulevés et transportés hors du système pendant un nettoyage du système.

Non. Bien que le Power Cleaner F8 contienne de l’acide citrique, celui-ci est neutralisé sur place pour former l’espèce neutre de citrate qui a une action nettoyante si efficace.

Comme avec tout nettoyant de système, il y a toujours un petit risque que le nettoyage puisse enlever les débris du système qui bouchaient les fuites. Cependant, si le Power Cleaner F8 est un nettoyant système puissant à action rapide, c’est aussi l’un des nettoyants les plus sûrs jamais développés par Fernox, ou un nettoyant universel actuellement sur le marché, qui protège les métaux du système pendant le nettoyage (jusqu’à une semaine).

Vous obtiendrez un très bon nettoyage du système avec les deux produits. Cependant, si le système est particulièrement sale, il est recommandé d’utiliser le Power Cleaner F8, plus puissant, qui aura un effet de dispersion accru, même à basse température.

Si le système présente un problème spécifique de calcaire et nécessite un détartrage, il peut être nécessaire d’utiliser le Fernox DS40 Descaler & Cleaner, pour réagir efficacement avec le calcaire et le dissoudre. Le DS40 Descaler & Cleaner mobilisera également les autres débris du système, y compris la magnétite et les sous-produits de la corrosion.
Si le système a surtout besoin d’être débarrassé des boues, le Power Cleaner F8 fera un excellent travail pour éliminer la magnétite et les autres sous-produits de la corrosion. Power Cleaner F8 est également une option plus sûre pour les systèmes anciens ou endommagés qui ne conviennent peut-être pas à un nettoyant acide, tel que le DS40 Descaler & Cleaner.

Le Power Cleaner F8 est un nettoyant au pH neutre qui a un faible impact sur l’environnement et peut être éliminé en toute sécurité par les égouts.

Le Power Cleaner F8 peut être dosé dans le système jusqu’à une semaine avant de tirer la chasse d’eau. Ce nettoyant puissant et performant est efficace après une heure de circulation dans des conditions normales de fonctionnement.

Power Cleaner F8 con formula concentrata è fornito in bottiglie da 500 ml per ridurre i rifiuti di imballaggio. Una sola bottiglia basta a trattare grandi impianti da 130 litri, 16 radiatori o 250 m² di pannelli radianti sotto pavimento.

Power Cleaner F8 è a pH neutro e senza acidi, dunque non necessita di neutralizzazione. Si risparmia tempo di intervento in loco.

L’azione del citrato è un potente effetto chelante che lo ione citrato ha sugli ioni metallici. Il forte effetto legante consente il sollevamento dei detriti di corrosione che vengono rimossi dall’impianto durante la pulizia.

No. Benché Power Cleaner F8 sia formulato con acido citrico, questo è neutralizzato in loco per formare la specie di citrato neutro così efficace nell’azione detergente.

Come per tutti i detergenti di impianto, c’è sempre un piccolo rischio di rimozione di detriti che tappavano perdite dell’impianto. Comunque, Power Cleaner F8 non solo agisce rapidamente come detergente d’impianto ad uso intenso ma è anche uno dei detergenti più sicuri progettati da Fernox, o detergenti universali attualmente in vendita, e protegge i metalli d’impianto mentre pulisce efficacemente (fino a una settimana).

Entrambi i prodotti offrono un’ottima pulizia d’impianto. Se l’impianto è molto contaminato si raccomanda l’uso del detergente più potente. Power Cleaner F8 offre un effetto di dispersione maggiore, anche a basse temperature.

Se l’impianto ha uno specifico problema di calcare da risolvere, conviene usare il detergente acido Fernox DS40 Descaler & Cleaner per reagire efficacemente al calcare e dissolverlo. DS40 Descaler & Cleaner può anche rimuovere altri detriti d’impianto, inclusa la magnetite e i residui da corrosione.
Se l’impianto ha soprattutto bisogno di rimuovere impurità melmosa, Power Cleaner F8 eccelle nella rimozione di magnetite e residui da corrosione. Power Cleaner F8 offre inoltre una scelta più sicura per impianti vecchi o danneggiati, possibilmente non idonei all’uso di detergenti acidi come DS40 Descaler & Cleaner.

Power Cleaner F8 è un detergente a pH neutro e a ridotto impatto ambientale, che può essere smaltito con sicurezza nelle acque reflue.

Power Cleaner F8 può essere aggiunto all’impianto fino a una settimana prima del risciacquo. Questo potente detergente ad alte prestazioni è efficace dopo solo un’ora di circolazione in normali condizioni d’esercizio.

Power Cleaner è senza fosfati, nitrati e nitriti, ed è stato sviluppato per superare tutte le linee guida legislative e regolamentari sull’impatto ambientale del prodotto. Esso è idoneo all’uso in impianti di riscaldamento a metalli misti, alluminio incluso.

Power Cleaner F8 ist eine konzentrierte Formulierung, die in 500-ml-Flaschen geliefert wird, um Verpackungsmüll zu reduzieren. Eine einzige Flasche ist ausreichend für bis zu 130 Liter Heizungswasser.

Power Cleaner F8 ist pH-neutral und nicht sauer, daher ist keine Neutralisation erforderlich. Das spart Zeit vor Ort.

Unter Zitratwirkung versteht man die starke chelatbildende Wirkung, die das Zitrat-Ion auf Metall-Ionen hat. Durch diese starke Bindungswirkung werden Korrosionsrückstände effektiv abgelöst. Dies ermöglicht ein schnelles Ausspülen.

Nein. Der Power Cleaner F8 enthält eine umgewandelte Form der Zitronensäure, die neutrales Zitrat bildet. Hierdurch wird eine sehr effektive Reinigungs- und Schmutzlösewirkung erzielt.

Wie bei jedem Systemreiniger besteht immer ein kleines Risiko, dass durch die Reinigung Systemrückstände entfernt werden, die Leckagen offen legen. Der Power Cleaner F8 ist zwar ein schnell wirkender, leistungsstarker Systemreiniger, er ist jedoch auch einer der sichersten Reiniger, die Fernox entwickelt hat, bzw. einer der sichersten Universalreiniger, die derzeit auf dem Markt erhältlich sind, und schützt die Systemmetalle, während eine effiziente Reinigung durchgeführt wird (bis zu einer Woche).

Mit beiden Produkten erhalten Sie eine sehr gute Systemreinigung. Bei besonders stark verschmutztem Systemen empfiehlt es sich jedoch, den stärkeren Power Cleaner F8 zu verwenden, der auch bei niedrigen Temperaturen eine erhöhte Dispersionswirkung hat.

Wenn das System stark verkalkt ist und entkalkt werden muss, empfehlen wir die Verwendung von Fernox DS40 Descaler & Cleaner, der effektiv mit den Kalkablagerungen reagiert und sie auflöst. DS40 Descaler & Cleaner löst auch andere Systemablagerungen, einschließlich Magnetit und Korrosionsnebenprodukte.
Wenn das System hauptsächlich von Schlamm befreit werden muss, leistet Power Cleaner F8 hervorragende Arbeit bei der Entfernung von Magnetit und anderen Korrosionsnebenprodukten. Power Cleaner F8 ist auch eine sicherere Option für alte Systeme, die möglicherweise nicht für einen sauren Reiniger wie DS40 Descaler & Cleaner geeignet sind.

Power Cleaner F8 ist ein pH-neutraler Reiniger, der die Umwelt wenig belastet und sicher über das Abwasser entsorgt werden kann.

Power Cleaner F8 kann bis zum Ausspülen bis zu einer Woche im System verbleiben. Dieser leistungsstarke Reiniger zeigt bereits nach einer Stunde Zirkulation unter normalen Betriebsbedingungen erste schmutzlösende Ergebnisse.

Power Cleaner F8 ist phosphat-, nitrit- und nitratfrei. Durch seine spezielle Zusammensetzung hält er nicht nur alle gesetzlichen Richtlinien zur Entsorgung ein, sondern übertrifft diese. Er ist für den Einsatz in Mischmetall-Heizsystemen, einschließlich Aluminium, geeignet.

Power Cleaner F8 to stężony preparat dostępny w butelkach o pojemności 500 ml, co pozwala zmniejszyć ilość odpadów w postaci opakowań. Jedna butelka wystarcza do oczyszczenia dość dużej instalacji o pojemności 130 litrów, 16 grzejników lub 250 metrów kwadratowych ogrzewania podłogowego.

Środek Power Cleaner F8 ma neutralny odczyn pH i nie ma właściwości kwasowych, dlatego neutralizacja nie jest konieczna. Daje to oszczędność czasu pracy w miejscu zabudowy instalacji.

„Citrate Action” to termin używany do określenia potężnego efektu chelatującego, jaki jon cytrynianu wywiera na jony metali. Ten silny efekt wiązania powoduje, że osady korozyjne są unoszone i usuwane z instalacji podczas jej czyszczenia.

Nie. Chociaż Power Cleaner F8 zawiera kwas cytrynowy, to jest on od razu neutralizowany, tworząc neutralne cytryniany, które wykazują bardzo skuteczne działanie czyszczące.

Podobnie jak w przypadku każdego środka czyszczącego, zawsze istnieje niewielkie ryzyko, że czyszczenie może usunąć z instalacji osad, który dotąd zapobiegał wyciekom. Mimo że Power Cleaner F8 jest szybko działającym, mocnym środkiem czyszczącym, jest przy tym jednym z najbezpieczniejszych środków czyszczących opracowanych przez Fernox, czy też uniwersalnych środków czyszczących dostępnych aktualnie na rynku, zapewniając ochronę metali występujących w instalacji z jednoczesną skutecznością czyszczenia (trwającego do 7 dni).

Oba te wyroby zapewniają bardzo dobre efekty czyszczenia instalacji. Jeśli jednak instalacja jest bardzo zanieczyszczona, zaleca się użycie mocniejszego Power Cleaner F8, który zapewnia intensywniejsze działanie dyspergujące, nawet w niskich temperaturach.

Jeśli główny problem w instalacji stanowi kamień kotłowy i wymagane jest jego usunięcie, konieczne może być użycie kwaśnego preparatu Fernox DS40 Descaler & Cleaner, który skutecznie wchodzi w reakcje z osadem wapiennym i go rozpuszcza. DS40 Descaler & Cleaner spowoduje również unoszenie innych zanieczyszczeń, w tym magnetytu i osadów korozyjnych.
Jeśli wymagane jest usunięcie z instalacji głównie szlamu, Power Cleaner F8 doskonale sprawdzi się przy usuwaniu magnetytu i innych osadów korozyjnych. Power Cleaner F8 jest również bezpieczniejszym rozwiązaniem w przypadku starych lub nadwyrężonych instalacji, które mogą nie nadawać się do stosowania kwasowego środka czyszczącego, takiego jak DS40 Descaler & Cleaner.

Power Cleaner F8 jest środkiem czyszczącym o neutralnym pH, który w niewielkim stopniu oddziałuje na środowisko naturalne i można się go bezpiecznie odprowadzać do kanalizacji ściekowej.

Power Cleaner F8 można wlać do instalacji do siedmiu dni przed jej płukaniem. Ten skuteczny i mocny środek czyszczący daje efekty już po jednej godzinie pracy w normalnych warunkach.

Power Cleaner nie zawiera fosforanów, azotynów ani azotanów i został opracowany tak, aby z marginesem bezpieczeństwa spełniał wszystkie wymagania normatywne i ustawowe w zakresie oddziaływania tego preparatu na środowisko. Nadaje się do stosowania w instalacjach grzewczych, w których występują kombinacje różnych metali, w tym aluminium.

Egy palack elgendő egy max. 130 literes (16 radiátor vagy 250 m2 padlófűtés) fűtésrendszerhez.

Power Cleaner F8 pH-semleges, nem savas, így egy általános átöblítésen kívül nincs egyéb teendő.

Nem. Bár a Power Cleaner F8 gyártásánál használunk citromsavat, a folyamat során közömbösítjük azt. A végeredmény egy hatékony, és biztonságos citrát-alapú tisztítószer, ami nem savas.

Ennek az esélye igen kicsi, de fontos tudni, hogy minden mosási folyamatnál (főleg a régebben szerelt rendszereknél), előfordulhat hogy a tisztítás során eltávolított szennyeződés egy már meglévő szivárgást fedett el. Midamellett, hogy Power Cleaner F8 hatékony, és gyors, egyúttal a Fernox által valaha kifejlesztett, legbiztonságosabb tisztítószerek egyike.

Mindkét termékkel jó eredményeket érhet el. Ha azonban a rendszer különösen szennyezett, akkor ajánlott az erősebb Power Cleaner F8-at használni, amely alacsonyabb hőmérsékleten is nagyon hatásos.

Ha a kezelendő fűtésrendszer kifejezetten vízköves, akkor érdemes lehet a savas Fernox DS40 vízkőmentesítő és tisztítószert használni.
Ha a rendszernek elsősorban iszapeltávolításra van szüksége, az F8 Power Cleaner kitűnő munkát végez a mágneses és más korróziós szennyeződések eltávolításában. A F8 Power Cleaner biztonságosabb megoldás a régi rendszerek esetében, amelyek esetleg nem alkalmasak savas tisztítószerekkel való tisztításra.

A Power Cleaner F8 környezetkímélő – nitrit, nitrát, és foszfátoktól mentes. Használat után lefolyóba engedhető.

Igen. Az F8 Power Cleaner már a mosást megelőző héten a rendszerbe kerülhet. A fűtés normál üzeme mellett már egy óra elteltével elkezd hatni.

A Power Cleaner F8 környezetkímélő – nitrit, nitrát, és foszfátoktól mentes. Fejlesztése során fontos szempont volt, hogy ne csak teljesítse, de meg is haladja az irányadó környezetvédelmi követelményeket.

Přípravek Power Cleaner F8 má koncentrované složení a dodává se v 500ml lahvích, čímž redukuje vznik odpadu z obalů. Pouze jediná láhev ošetří větší systémy o 130 litrech, 16 radiátorů či 250 m2 podlahového vytápění.

Přípravek Power Cleaner F8 je pH neutrální a nikoliv kyselý, není proto nutná žádná neutralizace. Tím šetří čas práce.

Účinek citrátu představuje silný chelatační účinek, kterým působí citrátové ionty na kovové ionty. Tento efekt silné vazby narušuje nánosy zkorodovaného materiálu a během procesu čištění je odstraňuje je ven ze systému.

Ne. Jelikož složení prostředku Power Cleaner F8 je na bázi kyseliny citronové, je přípravek neutralizován na místě za vzniku neutrálního druhu citrátu, který má vysoce účinný čisticí efekt.

U každého čisticího přípravku systémů existuje vždy malé riziko, že čištění může ze systému odstranit nánosy, které ucpávaly netěsnosti. Přestože je prostředek Power Cleaner F8 rychle působící a vysoce odolný čisticí přípravek systémů, jedná se rovněž o jeden z nejbezpečnějších čisticích prostředků, které společnost Fernox kdy vyvinula – tento šetrný univerzální čistič, který je v současné době na trhu, poskytuje ochranu kovovým součástem systémů a zároveň účinně čistí (na dobu až do jednoho týdne).

U obou produktů bude výsledkem velmi dobře vyčištěný systém vytápění. Pokud je však systém výrazně znečištěn, doporučuje se použití silnějšího prostředku Power Cleaner F8, který má zvýšený disperzní účinek i při nízkých teplotách.

Pokud je u systému specifický problém s vodním kamenem, který je třeba odstranit, může být nezbytné použití kyselého přípravku Fernox DS40 Descaler & Cleaner, aby byla zajištěna účinná reakce s vodním kamenem a jeho rozpuštění. Prostředek DS40 Descaler & Cleaner rovněž uvádí do pohybu další nánosy v systému, včetně magnetitu a vedlejších produktů koroze.
Pokud je u systému vyžadováno zejména odstranění kalu, vykoná prostředek Power Cleaner F8 vynikající práci při odstraňování magnetitu a ostatních vedlejších produktů koroze. Přípravek Power Cleaner F8 také představuje bezpečnější volbu pro staré nebo poškozené systémy, u kterých nemusí být vhodné použití kyselého čisticího přípravku, jako je DS40 Descaler & Cleaner.

Power Cleaner F8 je pH neutrální čisticí přípravek s malým vlivem na životní prostředí. Lze jej bezpečně likvidovat prostřednictvím kanalizace.

Power Cleaner F8 lze dávkovat až týden před proplachováním systému. Tento vysoce výkonný a silný čisticí přípravek je účinný po jedné hodině cirkulace za běžných provozních podmínek.

Prostředek Power Cleaner neobsahuje fosfáty, dusičnany ani dusičnany a byl vyvinut tak, aby splňoval všechny požadavky nad rámec regulačních a legislativních směrnic týkajících se vlivu složení přípravku na životní prostředí. Je kompatibilní pro použití ve smíšených kovových topných systémech, včetně hliníku.

Power Cleaner F8 je čistič s koncentrovaným zložením, ktorý sa dodáva v 500 ml fľašiach s cieľom redukovať odpad z obalov. Už jedna fľaša stačí na vyčistenie väčších systémov s objemom 130 litrov, 16 radiátorov alebo 250 m2 systémov podlahového kúrenia.

Čistič Power Cleaner F8 má neutrále pH a nie je kyselinotvorný, preto nie je potrebného neutralizovať. Šetrí sa tým čas na mieste.

Pôsobenie citrátu je termín, ktorým sa opisuje silný chelatačný účinok, ktorý má ión citrátu na ióny kovu. Tento silný viažuci účinok znamená, že úlomky hrdze sa zdvihnú a odstránia zo systému počas jeho čistenia.

Nie. Aj keď má čistič Power Cleaner F8 zloženie na báze kyseliny citrónovej, táto je na mieste zneutralizovaná, aby vznikli druhy neutrálnych citrátov, ktoré majú veľmi efektívny čistiaci účinok.

Tak ako v prípade každého čističa systémov, aj tu vždy existuje malé riziko, že sa pri čistení môžu odstrániť úlomky, ktoré upchávali netesnosti. Hoci je Power Cleaner F8 rýchlo pôsobiaci, vysoko účinný čistič systémov, je tiež jedným z najbezpečnejších čističov, ktoré kedy spoločnosť Fernox vyvinula, alebo jedným z najuniverzálnejších čističov na súčasnom trhu, ktorý poskytuje ochranu kovov v systéme a zároveň efektívne čistí (až do jedného týždňa).

Obidva produkty vám zabezpečia veľmi dobré vyčistenie systému. Ak je však systém mimoriadne znečistený, odporúča sa použiť silnejší čistič Power Cleaner F8, ktorý zabezpečí väčší rozptyl dokonca aj pri nízkych teplotách.

Ak je v systéme konkrétny problém s vodným kameňom a je potrebné ho odstrániť, môže byť nutné použiť kyselinotvorný Fernox DS40 Descaler & Cleaner, ktorý s ním účinne zreaguje a rozpustí ho. Prípravok DS40 Descaler & Cleaner uvedie do pohybu aj iné úlomky v systéme vrátane magnetitu a vedľajších produktov korózie.
Ak je hlavne potrebné odstrániť zo systému kal, Power Cleaner F8 vynikajúco poslúži pri odstraňovaní magnetitu a iných vedľajších produktov korózie. Čistič Power Cleaner F8 predstavuje tiež bezpečnejšiu voľbu pre staré alebo poškodené systémy, ktoré nemusia spĺňať požiadavky na čistenie kyselinotvorným čističom, napr. DS40 Descaler & Cleaner.

Čistič Power Cleaner F8 má neutrále pH, tým aj malý vplyv na životné prostredie a možno ho bezpečne likvidovať prostredníctvom splaškovej kanalizácie.

Čistič Power Cleaner F8 možno dávkovať do systému nie skôr ako týždeň pred preplachovaním. Tento vysokoúčinný, silný čistič je účinný už po jednej hodine obehu za normálnych prevádzkových podmienok.

Power Cleaner neobsahuje fosfáty, dusitany a dusičnany a je vyvinutý tak, aby prevyšoval všetky regulačné a legislatívne usmernenia týkajúce sa vplyvu jeho zloženia na životné prostredie. Môže sa používať vo vykurovacích systémoch z rôznych kovov vrátane hliníka.

Power Cleaner F8 este o formulă concentrată furnizată în sticle de 500 ml, pentru a reduce risipa de ambalaje. O singură sticlă tratează sisteme mai mari de 130 de litri, 16 radiatoare sau 250 mp în cazul sistemelor de încălzire prin pardoseală.

Power Cleaner F8 are pH neutru și nu este acid, prin urmare nu este necesară neutralizarea. Acest lucru scurtează timpul intervenției.

Acțiunea citratului este un termen folosit pentru a descrie efectul chelator puternic pe care ionul citrat îl are asupra ionilor metalici. Acest efect puternic de legare înseamnă că resturile de coroziune sunt ridicate și transportate din sistem în timpul unei curățări a sistemului.

Nu. În timp ce Power Cleaner F8 este formulat cu acid citric, acesta este neutralizat in situ pentru a forma specia de citrat neutru care are o acțiune de curățare atât de eficientă.

La fel ca în cazul oricărui agent de curățare a sistemului, există întotdeauna un risc mic ca curățarea să îndepărteze resturile sistemului care înfunda scurgeri. Cu toate acestea, în timp ce Power Cleaner F8 este un agent de curățare cu acțiune rapidă pentru sisteme grele, este, de asemenea, unul dintre cele mai sigure produse de curățare pe care Fernox le-a dezvoltat vreodată, sau un produs de curățare universal aflat în prezent pe piață, oferind protecție metalelor sistemului în timp ce se efectuează o curățare eficientă (până la o săptămână).

Veți obține o curățare a sistemului foarte bună cu ambele produse. Cu toate acestea, dacă sistemul este deosebit de murdar, se recomandă utilizarea unui Power Cleaner F8 mai puternic, care va avea un efect de dispersie crescut, chiar și la temperaturi scăzute.

Dacă sistemul are o depuneri de calcar și are nevoie de detartrare, poate fi necesar să folosiți detergentul acid Fernox DS40 pentru a acționa eficient și a dizolva calcarul. DS40 Detartrare și curățare va mobiliza, de asemenea, alte resturi ale sistemului, inclusiv magnetit și subproduse de coroziune.
Dacă sistemul necesită în principal îndepărtarea nămolului, Power Cleaner F8 va face o treabă excelentă la eliminarea magnetitei și a altor subproduse de coroziune. Power Cleaner F8 este, de asemenea, o opțiune mai sigură pentru sistemele vechi sau deteriorate, care ar putea să nu fie potrivite pentru un agent de curățare acid, cum ar fi DS40.

Power Cleaner F8 este un agent de curățare cu pH neutru, cu impact redus asupra mediului și care poate fi eliminat în condiții de siguranță prin scurgerea murdăriei.

Power Cleaner F8 poate fi administrat în sistem până la o săptămână înainte de spălare. Acest detergent puternic de înaltă performanță este eficient după o oră de circulație în condiții normale de funcționare.

Power Cleaner nu conține fosfați, nitrați și este dezvoltat pentru a respecta toate normele de reglementare legislative în ceea ce privește impactul asupra mediului. Este compatibil pentru utilizarea în sisteme mixte de încălzire a metalelor, inclusiv aluminiu.
