Annual inhibitor concentration testing

[Scott_D]

first test said low inhibitor so I added 0.5l of Adey MC1 (not Fernox) and the 2nd test shows all good

Thanks for the update. I wonder what the fernox kit is actually measuring? I don’t really understand the ppm or mg/L scale associated to the result. I know what the units are but not what they are actually measuring. Presumably it measures a actives concentration and therefore not a generic pH test. What would happen if the inhibitor used didn’t have that active presumably the test would be useless.

Sounds to me like a manufacturer's wheeze to get out of the ridiculously long warranties being offered at the moment. How can anyone offer a ten year guarantee on a device running at high temperatures with lots of moving parts, lots of electronics and no control over how it is used? Easy, just find any excuse not to honour it.

10 year warranty on the foundations and brickwork on a new build property BUT 12 years on the boiler.

I am happy to be working in an industry where the manufacturers can create a product more reliable than a brick.
