Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Before use, ensure the central heating system is switched off and has cooled down. The cleanser should be added directly into the system, typically via a filling loop or radiator valve, following the manufacturer's recommended dosage. For a 100-litre system, the entire 1-litre bottle may be required, but always consult specific system requirements or a professional if unsure.
Compatibility: This product is specifically designed for use in closed-loop central heating systems. It is not suitable for potable water systems, domestic hot water circuits, or any system where direct contact with drinking water is possible. Always confirm compatibility with your system's components, especially if older or non-standard materials are present.
Care: Store the cleanser in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children. Ensure the container is tightly sealed when not in use. The product has a shelf life, so check the packaging for expiry dates.
