Copal MB-1, or BetzDeaborn Sentinel X100 is recommended.
NOTE:FAILURE TO CARRY OUT THE FLUSHING PROCEDURE WILL RESULT IN
THE WARRANTY BECOMING VOID.
I
n hard water areas or where large quantities of water are in the
system the treatment of the water to prevent premature scaling
of the main heat exchanger is necessary.
The formation of scale strongly compromises the efficiency of the
thermic exchange because small areas of scale cause a high
increase of the temperature of the metallic walls and therefore
add to the thermal stress of the heat exchanger.
Demineralised water is more aggressive so in this situation it is
necessary to treat the water with an appropriate corrosion
inhibitor.
- Any treatment of water by additives in the system for frost
protection or for corrosion inhibition has to be absolutely suitable
for all the metals used in the circuit including the aluminium
alloys.
- If anti-freeze substances are to be used in the system, check
carefully that they are compatible with the aluminium.
In particular, DO NOT USE ordinary ETHYLENE GLYCOL, since
it is corrosive in relation to aluminium and its alloy, as well as
being toxic.
MTS suggests the use of suitable anti-freeze products such as
Fernox ALPHI 11, which will prevent rust and incrustation taking
place.
Periodically check the pH of the water/anti-freeze mixture of the
boiler circuit and replace it when the amount measured is out of
the range stipulated by the manufacturer ( 7 < pH < 8).
DO NOT MIX DIFFERENT TYPES OF ANTI-FREEZE
- In under-floor systems, the use of plastic pipes without protection
against penetration of oxygen through the walls can cause
corrosion of the system’s metal parts (metal piping, boiler, etc),
through the formation of oxides and bacterial agents.
To pre
vent this problem, it is necessary to use pipes with an
“oxygen-proof barrier”, in accordance with standards DIN
4726/4729.
If pipes of this kind are not used, keep the
system separate by installing heat exchangers of those with
a specific system water treatment.
IMPORTANT
Failure to carry out the water treatment procedure will
invalidate the appliance warranty
When the installation and filling are completed, flush the system
while cold, refill, turn on the Central Heating system (SECTION 3.2)
and r
un it until the temper
ature has reached the boiler operating
temperature.The system must then be immediately flushed through.
The flushing procedure must be in line with BS 7593:1992 code of
practice for treatment of water in domestic hot water central heating
systems
.
During this operation, we highly recommend the use of a central
heating flushing detergent (F
er
nox Superfloc or equivalent), whose
function is to dissolv
e an
y f
oreign matter that ma
y be in the system.
Substances different from these could create serious problems
to the pump or other components.
The use of an inhibitor in the system such as F
er
nox MB-1 or
equivalent is strongly recommended to prevent corrosion (
sludge)
damaging the boiler and system.
F
ailure to carr
y out this pr
ocedure ma
y in
v
alidate the appliance
warranty.
