FAQs

How often should I use this descaler?

The frequency of use depends on your water hardness and system condition. Typically, it is recommended during routine system maintenance, which may be annually or bi-annually.

Can I mix this with other central heating chemicals?

It is generally not recommended to mix this product with other central heating chemicals unless specifically stated by the manufacturer. Always consult product labels and, if unsure, seek professional advice.

What is the shelf life of the product?

Store in a cool, dry place. The product typically has a long shelf life if kept sealed and under appropriate storage conditions. Refer to the product packaging for any specific expiry dates.

How do I know if my system needs descaling?

Signs include slow radiator heating, cold spots on radiators, increased noise from the boiler or pipes, and higher energy bills. Regular system checks and a professional assessment can confirm the need.

Does this product remove existing scale?

This product is primarily a scale prevention chemical, meaning it inhibits new scale formation. While it may help to loosen minor existing deposits, significant scale removal might require a dedicated descaling treatment.

What volume of water does 1 litre treat?

One 1-litre bottle is designed to cope with up to 100 litres of water in a central heating system.

Troubleshooting

System shows no improvement in heating efficiency

Ensure the correct dosage was used for the system's water volume. Allow sufficient circulation time as per instructions. The system may have significant existing scale buildup requiring professional assessment or multiple treatments.

Unusual noises from the heating system

Verify that the descaler was added correctly and that no air has entered the system. If noises persist, consult a qualified heating engineer.

Chemical has spilled

Absorb the spill with inert material (e.g., sand, vermiculite). Dispose of according to local regulations. Clean the affected area thoroughly with water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: Add the recommended dosage of RS PRO 1L Scale Prevention Chemical directly into your central heating system during a maintenance or refill cycle.
