A little TLC with Fernox can save us a fortune in the long run

With Winter just round the corner and energy bills on the rise

Here’s a few things you can do to help reduce any unnecessary bills or breakdowns this Winter, with a range of Fernox products in our branches. 

Fernox is a leading manufacturer of water treatment chemical products, central heating system filters, plumbing consumables and diagnostic testing services. Fernox has pioneered the development of energy efficient products both for traditional and renewable technology in domestic and commercial applications.

Sounds complicated? but with some TLC to our boilers and radiators can save us a fortune in the long run!

Here’s just a couple of the Fernox products available to purchase

Protector F1 Express at just £23.10

Protector F1 is the market leading inhibitor which prevents corrosion and limescale formation in central heating systems. The Fernox Express range uses Barrier Pressure Pack technology and compressed air propellent to expel the product, so the entire range is non-flammable. The propellent (compressed air) is not mixed with the active product so there is no risk of air ingress into the system which could accelerate future risk of corrosion.

• Protects against corrosion and scale in mixed metal central heating systems to prevent breakdown and premature boiler failure

• Quick and convenient – doses in 30 seconds via radiator, filling loop or Fernox TF1 System Filter - no need to drain down the system

• Treats up to 130 litres of system water (16 radiators) and the equivalent of 250m2 of underfloor systems.

• Supports boiler manufacturer's warranty requirements

Next up is the Antifreeze Protector Alphi-11 at £53.71

Antifreeze Protector Alphi-11 is a combined antifreeze and inhibitor product, which provides protection against internal corrosion and limescale formation in domestic central heating systems.

Antifreeze Protector Alphi-11 is suitable for use with all metals and materials commonly used in heating systems. For long-term protection ensure concentration levels are maintained and checked annually as part of the boiler or system service. Available in a 5-litre liquid product, Antifreeze Protector Alphi-11 is compatible with all other Fernox products.

• Protects against corrosion and limescale build-up in central heating systems to maintain energy efficiency

• Combined antifreeze and corrosion inhibitor to extend system life

• Prevents pipework freezing

• Compatible with all metals and materials commonly used in heating systems; including aluminium

• Suitable for heating and chilled water systems

Need a new filter? The TF1 Omega at £130.10

The TF1 Omega Filter collects all types of corrosion, scale, and installation debris. By preventing these contaminants from circulating within a heating system, energy efficiency levels are optimised, and the inconvenience of a system breakdown coupled with a major repair or replacement cost can be avoided.

Designed for installation in small or restricted access areas, this high performance sealed, in- line system filter is easy to install and fast and convenient to clean. There is no need to dismantle the unit or replace o’ rings during servicing, saving time on-site. 

• High capacity and compact design. Ideal for use in restricted spaces

• Easy to install – fits on horizontal and vertical pipework in both flow directions. The filter can operate at an angle of 45°

• Unique action, removes magnetic and non-magnetic contaminants from system water
