WATER TREATMENT
EXPLAINED...
WHAT IS WATER
TREATMENT?
Pioneered by Fernox in 1964,
chemical water treatment was
developed as a method of
dealing with dirty, inefficient
central heating systems. Used
to clean and protect the internal
components of a wet central
heating system, chemical water
treatments provide energy
and cost saving benefits to
homeowners.
Chemical cleaners and inhibitors
(which protect against debris
formation) are essential to
maintaining and improving
a central heating system’s
efficiency and lifespan.
WHY DO YOU NEED
WATER TREATMENT?
When central heating system water
comes into direct contact with
the metal system components,
a chemical reaction takes place.
Resulting in the formation of
corrosion deposits, limescale
and sludge, the build-up of debris
has a detrimental impact on
boiler efficiency and longevity.
For example, common problems
include radiator cold spots, a noisy
boiler and blockages, which can
ultimately result in system failure.
By using chemical water
treatments, the system can be
thoroughly cleaned removing any
existing debris, and then inhibited,
to protect the system against
future debris formation.
WHAT ARE THE
BENEFITS?
The correct use of chemical
water treatments can significantly
enhance and maintain a central
heating system’s performance,
energy efficiency and lifespan.
Independently verified tests have
proven that by using Fernox
Cleaner F3 followed by Fernox
Protector F1, system efficiency
can be restored and provide gas
savings of up to 15%. In addition,
the use of an inhibitor alone can
increase boiler efficiency by
approximately 3%.
WHY USE FERNOX?
For more than 50 years, Fernox
products have led the way for
market-leading quality, efficacy,
innovation and reliability.
A tried and trusted brand amongst
installers and professional gas
engineers, Fernox award-winning
