FAQs

How often should I add MC1+ Rapide?

Ideally, add MC1+ Rapide after draining the system, or every 1-2 years to maintain protection.

Can I overdose my heating system with the inhibitor?

No, it's very unlikely to overdose your heating system. Follow the product's guidelines and the system capacity.

Can I use MC1+ Rapide in a system with existing corrosion?

MC1+ Rapide is a preventative measure. It won't remove existing corrosion. A system flush might be required beforehand.

Is MC1+ Rapide safe for all types of boilers?

Yes, it is suitable for all types of heating systems and compatible with all metals.

How long does it take for the inhibitor to work?

The MC1+ Rapide starts protecting the system immediately after it's been circulated, but it is advised to wait at least 30 minutes for optimum results.

Where can I add the MC1+ Rapide?

It can be added via the radiator, air vent, or boiler filling loop.

What if I accidentally spill the inhibitor?

Wipe it up immediately and rinse the area with water. Follow local guidelines for disposal.

Troubleshooting

Heating system not performing efficiently.

Check for airlocks, ensure the system is properly balanced, and consider a system flush if necessary. Confirm the inhibitor has been added correctly.

Unusual noises from the heating system.

Check for sludge or debris. A MagnaClean filter or a system flush might be needed.

Water discoloration.

This could indicate corrosion. Check for leaks and contact a heating engineer if the problem persists.

Slow to heat up.

The system may need bleeding. Check the water pressure and make sure the inhibitor has been added correctly.
