6.1

Water Circulating Systems

1. The appliance is suitable for fully pumped sealed systems
only.

The following conditions should be observed on all systems:

• The boiler must not be used with a direct cylinder.
• Drain cocks should be fitted to all system low points.
• All gas and water pipes and electrical wiring must be installed

in a way which would not restrict the servicing of the boiler.

• Air vents should be fitted to all system high points.
• An air rejection separator is recommended to ensure correct

operation of all appliance components.

2. If the system requires an output from the boiler greater than
75,000 Btu/hr then an additional external pump will need to be
fitted.

3. If the system is fully TRV’d with no bypass then any external
pump can be wired back to the boiler Optional Pump Feed
connection. This will protect the pump by turning it off if all the
TRVs are shut (sensed by the boiler flow switch). This is wired
as in Fig. A. See section 8.7 for how to increase boiler output
from 75.000 Btu/hr to 100,000 Btu/hr.

6.2

Treatment of Water Circulating Systems

• All recirculatory water systems will be subject to corrosion

unless an appropriate water treatment is applied. This means that

the efficiency of the system will deteriorate as corrosion sludge

accumulates within the system, risking damage to pump and valves,

boiler noise and circulation problems.

• When upgrading existing systems that exhibit evidence of

sludging, it is advisable to clean the system prior to treatment in

order to remove any sludge and reduce the likelihood of these

deposits damaging new components.

• When fitting new systems flux will be evident within the system,

which can lead to damage of system components.

• All systems must be thoroughly drained and flushed out. The

recommended flushing and cleansing agents are Betz-Dearborn

Sentinel X300 or X400 and Fernox Superfloc Universal Cleanser

which should be used following the flushing agent manufacturer’s

instructions.

• System additives - corrosion inhibitors and flushing

agents/descalers should be suitable for aluminium and comply to

BS7593 requirements. The only system additives recommended

are Betz-Dearborn Sentinel X100 and Fernox-Copal which should

be used following the inhibitor manufacturer’s instructions. 

Failure to flush and add inhibitor to the system will invalidate

the appliance warranty.

• It is important to check the inhibitor concentration after

installation, system modification and at every service in accordance

with the manufacturer’s instructions. (Test kits are available from

inhibitor stockists.)

• For information or advice regarding any of the above contact the

Baxi Helpline.
