BOILER BREAKDOWNS

STOP SLUDGE STOP BREAKDOWNS

ADEY’s Colin Yearp discusses how apprentice and trainee installers can help protect heating systems from the damage caused by sludge and how to show customers the problem.

TEST

Water testing helps educate homeowners on heating system water quality and opens doors to discussing treatment options before damage is caused. ADEY ProCheck® is the digital water test that provides access to key system water treatment results, including measuring for inhibitors, corrosion and pH levels. The results are instantly available on your smartphone, so it’s quick too!

“A SLUDGE-FREE HEATING SYSTEM HELPS RADIATORS GAIN UP TO 47% MORE HEAT”

CLEAN

Should ProCheck® flag an issue with the water quality, a full system flush will ensure a heating system is free from sludge; reducing the chances of the customer’s boiler breaking down and helping radiators gain up to 47% more heat.

ADEY MagnaCleanse® Rapid Flush can remove virtually all the magnetite through its cleaning process. The fast and effective, yet gentle, flushing process makes it ideal for all systems.

PROTECT

Filtering out sludge before it goes through the vital parts of the heating system helps protect the boiler from breaking down, and means it runs more efficiently. ADEY MagnaClean® filters help to protect the system by capturing the suspended sludge as it passes through. To prevent magnetite from forming in the future, dosing the system with ADEY’s MC1® Protector will also help to keep corrosion at bay, protecting the system and ensuring longevity.

TOP TIPS

Water treatment best practice should be worked into every install, every service and every repair, whether the system is new or existing. The presence of sludge in a heating system is the number one cause of central heating breakdown and accounts for 80% of boiler breakdowns in the first five years*.
