How do I test my central heating inhibitor?
Fill the tube to the top with a water sample taken from the central heating system. Plug the top of the tube and shake vigorously. Allow to stand for 10 minutes, shaking from time to time. The solution should change colour during this time.
What PH should central heating water be?
between 6.5 and 8.5It is critical that the pH of the water be maintained between 6.5 and 8.5, which is optimum for aluminium to minimise corrosion.

How often should central heating inhibitor be changed?
once a yearCentral heating inhibitor will need to be changed once a year or so. It will break down over time, meaning minerals and rust build up once more. This means regulating your system's inhibitor intake ensuring it runs steadily and consistently. You should always top up the inhibitor every time your system is drained.
Can you put too much inhibitor into a central heating system?
Can You Add Too Much Inhibitor? The simple answer is no. You can never add too much inhibitor to your central heating system and dosing it up cannot cause any damage. Adding more inhibitor is only a good thing for your system as it will provide even more protection.
What happens if acidic water enters into boilers?
When the boiler water pH drops below about 8.5, a corrosion called acid attack can occur. The effect exhibits rough pitted surfaces. The presence of iron oxide deposits on boiler surfaces can encourage this kind of corrosion.
What happens if boiler pH is too high?
The correct pH measurement is essential to water treatment: pH too high or too low can lead to boiler or steam turbine scaling and corrosion, system failures, and downtime, as well as the costly replacement of equipment.
How do I test my boiler water?

What colour should my central heating water be?
There are some signs to look out for to assess if it's time to flush the system, starting with the colour of the water when you bleed the radiators. If it's clear, you're OK. If it's slightly brown, then you've got sludge in the system and you therefore need to get it flushed.
How long does fernox f1 last?
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.
What is a fernox test?
Fernox Water Quality Test is a paperless, smart phone driven, postal laboratory service which provides a diagnostic check of five key water quality criteria to guard against the causes of central heating problems.
What is a Sentinel X100 test kit?
The Sentinel X100 Test Kit is a simple way to check that a system treated with Sentinel X100 Inhibitor has been dosed to the correct level for proper protection against limescale and corrosion, two of the main culprits of system issues and breakdown.
What are the causes of central heating inefficiency?
Safety. Limescale and corrosion are the two main causes of central heating inefficiency, leading to radiator cold spots, boiler inefficiency, a noisy system and a multitude of other problems.
