The mexico hE boiler range have an ALUMINIUM alloy 

heat exchanger
IMpORTANT.

 

The application of any other treatment 

to this product may render the guarantee of Ideal 

stelrad group invalid.
Ideal stelrad group 

recommend water treatment in 

accordance with the 

Benchmark

 Guidance Notes on Water 

Treatment in Central Heating systems.
If water treatment is used 

Ideal stelrad group 

recommend 

only the use of Scalemaster Gold 100, 

FERNOx,  MB-1, 

ADEy MC1 

or 

SENTINEL-x100 

inhibitors and associated water 

treatment products, which must be used in accordance with 

the manufacturers’ instructions.  

Notes.
1.

 

It is most important that the correct concentration of the water 

treatment products is maintained in accordance with the 

manufacturers’ instructions. 

2.

 

If the boiler is installed in an existing system any unsuitable 

additives MUST  be removed by thorough cleansing. BS 

7593:2006 details the steps necessary to clean a domestic 

heating system.

3.

 

In hard water areas, treatment to prevent lime scale may be 

necessary -  however the use of artificially softened water is 

NOT  permitted.

4.

 

Under no circumstances should the boiler be fired  before the 

system has been thoroughly flushed.
