How long will SysPro products stay in my hydronic heating system?
How do I know if the concentration level of SysPro Inhibitor or Inhibited Antifreeze products are correct to protect the system fully?
Can I overdose the system with SysPro Inhibitor or Inhibited Antifreeze?
Overdosing is not possible as the product is supplied ready to use. However, underdosing may mean that the system is not fully protected. This can happen if you partially drain the system during maintenance or home improvement, and do not refill with undiluted SysPro product. It is important that there is always sufficient chemical water treatment present to prevent corrosion and scale.
Can I use SysPro Inhibitor and Inhibited Antifreeze in old and new systems?
Is it safe to empty hydronic system water down the drain?
What causes corrosion?
What causes Limescale?
Limescale is produced when water in a closed system is heated. The natural hardness and quality of the fill water influences the speed of scale formation. Limescale forms in the hottest part of the system clogging up the heat exchanger in the boiler, causing blockages in the piping.
Together, corrosion and limescale can lead to system inefficiency, increased energy usage, system unreliability and untimely system failure. Common symptoms of corrosion and limescale formation include:
- Radiator cold spots and failure
- Pump seizure
- Heat exchanger damage
- Blockages and narrowing of flow channels
… to name just some of the problems that can quickly happen even in new systems.
SysPro Inhibitor and Inhibited Antifreeze can stop these problems from happening. Prevention is better than cure when it comes to corrosion and scale.
