Water & treatment
Heating System Water Treatment
The right chemistry makes pipework last almost indefinitely. The wrong chemistry slowly eats it.
Water carries heat around a building because it's cheap and absorbs a lot of energy. It also corrodes. Leaks wash out inhibitor and let in oxygen-rich water. Corrosion products collect as sludge, and iron oxide 'barnacles' grow to six times the volume of the metal they came from, blocking small-bore pipes.
We take samples correctly (pumps running, good-flow sample point, valve flushed first), send them for analysis and send you a full report with recommendations and the right dosing.

FAQ
Questions we get asked
How often should water be tested?
It depends on the system's size and history. We'll set a sensible frequency after the first sample.
How often should our equipment be serviced?
At least once a year. Ideally heating in autumn and air conditioning in spring. Oil-fired equipment really should be cleaned and serviced every year.
Why service if nothing is wrong?
Better reliability, problems caught early, lower running costs, longer equipment life and a safer building. It's also usually a legal requirement.
