Suitable chemicals and their use should be discussed
with a specialist water treatment company prior to car-
rying out any work. The specification of the system and
manufacturers recommendations must be taken into
account, along with the age and condition of the system.
New systems should be flushed thoroughly to remove all
traces of flux, debris, grease and metal swarf generated
during installation. Care to be taken with old systems to
ensure any black metallic iron oxide sludge and other
corrosive residues are removed, again by thoroughly
flushing, ensuring that the system is drained completely
from all low points.
NOTE:
Please ensure that the new boiler plant is not in
circuit when the flushing takes place, especially if clean-
sing chemicals are used to assist the process.
Under no circumstances is the boiler to be operated
with cleaning chemicals in the system.
