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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
One 1-litre bottle is designed to cope with up to 100 litres of water in a central heating system.
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.
Verify that the descaler was added correctly and that no air has entered the system. If noises persist, consult a qualified heating engineer.
Absorb the spill with inert material (e.g., sand, vermiculite). Dispose of according to local regulations. Clean the affected area thoroughly with water.
Setup: Add the recommended dosage of RS PRO 1L Scale Prevention Chemical directly into your central heating system during a maintenance or refill cycle. Ensure the system is circulating to distribute the chemical evenly. Refer to the product label for precise dosage instructions based on your system's total water volume (up to 100 litres per bottle).
Compatibility: This chemical is designed for use in central heating systems only. It is suitable for systems with standard metal components. Do not use in potable water systems.
Care: Store the bottle in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and incompatible materials. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (gloves, eye protection) when handling the chemical. After application and a suitable circulation period, it is recommended to flush the system according to standard practice to remove any residual chemical and debris.
