Before performing the test, you should allow any Sentinel X100 Inhibitor that has been added to the system to circulate for a minimum of 15 minutes to allow the product to be evenly distributed. The following video shows the process: Ideally, on the return pipe leading to a boiler. This is to stop debris entering the boiler and damaging it. Isolate the filter from the system and remove the bleed pin from the valve at the top of the filter. Catch any excess fluid with a rag. Close the radiator valves and then slowly remove the adaptor from the radiator, catching the excess chemical in a container.

Our Vortex500 works in exactly the same way as the Vortex300, adding a larger collection capacity and the ability to be installed on larger pipework too, making it ideal for heat pump systems. Sentinel's range of filters is crafted to fit any situation. The filters we offerrange from ultra-compact, where space is at a premium, through the compact Vortex300 and the larger Vortex500, which is also suitable for heat pump installations. Allow to stand for 10 minutes, shaking from time to time. The solution should change colour during this time. When the chemical has completely emptied into the system (after ~ 30 seconds), the bayonet connection can then be released. Catch any excess fluid with a rag. Do you have a modern condensing boiler, especially a combi? (That combination makes a clean system really important as the very narrow waterways can clog quite easily, as I know to my cost.)Close the radiator valves and then remove the adaptor from the bleed valve, catching any excess chemical in a container. We recommend that a filter is installed on all systems, in conjunction with a cleaning of the system, to capture any existing debris. Our range of cleaners is comprehensive and can be choosed based on the scenario that presents itself. See our cleaners and system cleaning-related products here. Budgie, do you have actual concerns about the amount of sludge in your system? Has there been any suggestion that there is a significant amount in there? A filter will help capture debris, in a collection chamber, and hold it there until the chamber can be emptied.

Remove the adaptor from the system. The hose can be reconnected but should always be disconnected at one end to avoid the risk of any contamination of the fresh water supply.Place a number 1 tablet and a number 2 tablet into the test tube provided. These are clearly marked.

The associated ACOP goes on to explain that the ‘temperature in workrooms should normally be at least 16 degrees Celsius unless much of the work involves severe physical effort in which case the temperature should be at least 13 degrees Celsius.’ Circulating debris in central heating systems can cause wear and premature failure of pumps, valves and heat exchangers. Sentinel's filters are the perfect filter solution to protect the system against magnetic debris. The horizontal, front facing filter is designed to be fitted in the most restrictive of spaces whilst delivering fantastic debris capture. Unthread the 1/2” female BSP adaptor from the 1/2” male and then thread the male end into the radiator body. Use a spanner to carefully nip up the threads to ensure a water tight seal. Thread the ½” female BSP adaptor onto the exposed male threads at the hose connection point on the ball valve. Use a spanner to gently nip up the adaptor to ensure a water tight seal.Maintaining system health is essential for ensuring that it runs both reliably and in an energy-efficient way, working towards Carbon Reduction Commitment goals whilst keeping employees or patrons comfortable. The Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 states that:
