Best practice, best solution
Sentinel is a company with a clear goal: offer water treatment products and services that provide the best lifetime protection for heating and hot water systems - Clean, Protect and Maintain.
Clean - to prepare for greater performance
- "Cleaning a dirty central heating system could save you £124 every year"
- The Compliance Guide to Part L of the UK Building Regulations now states that when installing a boiler onto a new or existing central heating system, the system should be thoroughly cleaned.
- Cleaning a new system will remove any installation debris and flux residues which if left inside the system will cause corrosion.
- Restoring an old system will remove sludge build-up, improving the efficiency of the system and help save on fuel costs.
Protect - to prolong system life and efficiency
- "The absence of correct water treatment can reduce system effectiveness by typically 15%"
- After cleaning, it is important to protect your system from returning scale, corrosion and sludge build-up.
- Both chemical inhibitors and physical system filters are proven to provide ongoing protection for the life of the system
Maintain - to ensure durable protection
- "1 in 5 households in the UK have suffered a heating breakdown"
- It is important to ensure that once a system is cleaned and protected it is maintained on an annual basis.
- Many factors can reduce the level of protection of a central heating system, for instance system water losses by the removal of a radiator whilst decorating. We therefore advise checking the quality of water and level of protection annually.
