CosWarm Universal Central Heating Inhibitor Test Kit | On Site Analysis Alkalinity Check | Approximately 50 Tests

Description

Product description THIS UNIVERSAL INHIBITOR TEST was developed with the cooperation of the water treatment members of HHIC (Heating & Hotwater Council) - the UK boiler manufacturers association. The corrosion protection given to a new wet central heating system may decline over time or be diluted by top up of system water following maintenance that requires partial drain-down. Consumers & installers need an indication of when re-treatment is required. A system check should be included as part of the annual boiler service so that each year the inhibitor level is checked and topped up if necessary. After 5 years there should be a top-up of inhibitor & at every 10 yearly intervals the system should be cleaned, flushed & retreated with inhibitor, starting the whole process again. Treated systems have higher ALKALINITY than untreated mains water at the same property. The alkalinity of the ‘MAINS’ water varies around the country, but the alkalinity that a corrosion inhibitor ADDS to the system remains consistent by brand. It is also necessary to establish that the inhibitor has been added at the correct dosage rate. By way of example, let’s say that the mains test gives an alkalinity of 5 drops (B) and the system test gives an alkalinity of 15 drops (A) then the alkalinity that the inhibitor has added to the system is A minus B = 10 drops. TESTS SEVERAL LEADING BRANDS as shown in the TABLE OF INHIBITORS* to see what level of drops would be expected from an optimally treated system with that specific brand of inhibitor and retest until the result is equal to or greater than the minimum number in the table. Higher values are not detrimental & are preferable to under dosing. Please see instructions for further details. *Manufacturers may record the Minimum Alkalinity Number of their product on the bottle label which supersedes the data in the table provided.
