FAQs
How long does it take for Fernox F2 to work?
Typically, you should notice a reduction in boiler noise within 24 to 48 hours of circulating the product throughout the heating system.
Can I use Fernox F2 in a system with an electric boiler?
Fernox F2 is designed for domestic central heating systems. While it can be used in systems powered by electric boilers, its primary function is to address noises related to water circulation and heat exchange, which are common in conventional boiler systems.
Is Fernox F2 safe for all types of pipework and radiators?
Yes, Fernox F2 is formulated to be safe for all common metals and materials found in domestic central heating systems, including aluminum.
Do I need to remove Fernox F2 after it has worked?
No, Fernox F2 is a long-term treatment and does not need to be removed unless the system is being completely flushed for other maintenance purposes.
What if my boiler makes a different kind of noise?
Fernox F2 is most effective against noise caused by sludge and poor circulation. If the noise is mechanical or electrical, it may require diagnosis and repair by a qualified heating engineer.
How much Fernox F2 should I add to my system?
For a standard domestic system, the 500ml bottle is sufficient. Ensure you create adequate space by partially draining the system before adding the full contents.
Troubleshooting
Boiler noise persists after application.
Ensure the correct dosage was added and the system was properly circulated. Some severe mechanical noises may not be resolved by chemical treatment; consult a heating engineer.
System pressure drops after adding F2.
Check all connections for leaks, especially around the filling loop and radiators. Ensure radiators have been fully vented and the system is refilled to the correct pressure.
Difficulty introducing the liquid into the system.
Ensure the filling loop is correctly connected and that there is sufficient space in the system by draining an appropriate amount of water beforehand.
