Renewables Guide

This comprehensive guide provides instructions on utilizing Fernox Renewable chemicals and devices to ensure your system operates efficiently and effectively. Refer to this guide to help you with the products recommended based on your quiz results.

First, Fernox recommends cleaning your system with our Fernox Cleaner F3 and a power flushing machine.

Keeping your system clean is crucial to avoid the buildup of sludge, debris, and scale from existing systems.

This process restores heating efficiency and eliminates boiler noise. For new installations, pre-commission cleaning according to BS 7593:2019 removes flux residues and other debris, helping to extend the system’s lifespan. It is essential to clean all systems before installing a boiler, including during boiler replacements.

Fernox recommends guarding your system with a permanently installed in-line filter.

Fernox offers various filters based on whether the system uses radiators, underfloor heating (UFH), or both. Radiators are more prone to corrosion, generating magnetite and ferrous particles, making magnetic filters more effective. Since UFH typically uses plastic piping and is less likely to produce magnetite, a non-magnetic filter will be sufficient.

There are several devices and chemicals available to safeguard your system.

Protecting your system against threats like microbial fouling, corrosion, and frost is crucial, as these issues can damage system components. Without proper protection, the system can become inefficient, suffer from blockages, and require increased maintenance. Frost can also cause pipes to burst, leading to leaks and expensive repairs. In some cases, multiple protectors may be necessary to ensure your system remains safe.

Fernox offers a variety of tests for your system.

Initially, we provide tests to check your system’s health and assess its needs. We also offer tests to ensure your system has been correctly dosed with the necessary chemicals. Additionally, Fernox recommends performing annual tests to maintain your system’s health and ensure ongoing protection. All of these tests are essential for keeping your system in optimal condition and ensuring the correct chemical dosage.
