Cheap Inhibitor.

washing up liquid without the salt or bubbles?

LOL! @ Red.

I always thought that inhibitor did de-oxygenate the water, however I was corrected at some point.

Water will lose it's oxygen over time, anyway, and heating it up speeds this process. The main thing it does, (apparently) is correct the PH value of the water (I guess they assume it will be slightly acidic, so it's probably an alkaline) and it coats the components, and inhibits corrosion.

I really am no expert in the matter and would be happy to be enlightened.

Anyone from Fernox in? :rolleyes2:

I was told it puts a thin coat on the inside of the pipework, radiators etc. Sort of pac-a-mac in a bottle.

Put your pots in it and wash them to make use of it lol

fairy liquid or whatever brand x washing up liquid is full of salt,salt corrodes everything,thats why you cant use it as LDF,so put it in a CH system expect big problems

EXCELLENT!
One bottle of fairy can bring years of repeat business and ongoing repair work 🙂

 

[petercj]

The kids will love the bubbles when you bleed the radiators!

 

[Roger Welton]

And you can use the pump as a bubble machine

Fairy Liquid is Soooo versatile, not forgetting that it's kind to your hands too 🙂

Just come back from buying some after your recommendations.


I can't find anywhere to pour it in the boiler, so can I disconnect the shower head (which is easy for me to do) then pour it into the shower pipe before replacing the head?

Lmao are you serious?

Not sure what You mean? Fairy liquid will do no harm in a shower hose but under no circumstances do you want to be adding inhibitor.

Call a plumber!

Give the guy some credit kay-jay lol!

 

[kay-jay]

It's bank holiday weekend and this may be a tentative foray into the land of superior engineers by the inferior sparks forum. 🙂🙂🙂

company called orbas rang me today,offered me a inibitor wras approved £6inc vat for a litre.

 

[mountainman]

I just Googled Orbas Inhibitor, evidently its Albanian for Fairy Liquid.
Computers are amazing!

 

[Dannypipe]

Or buy a WRAS approved one from Toolstation for £6 a litre and collect it as you pay.

Personally for my own heating system (which is new, I fitted it this year) I put the £6 Toolstation inhibitor in and on top of that I put a bottle of Fernox F1. That way I know the system is over dosed and corrosion will be minimal.

For customers I have two different standards. Sentinal/Fernox for customers who have a decent heating system that they are pro-actively maintaining.....and the £6 Toolstation own brand for the customers who clearly don't give a monkeys and have only got you there because something has gone wrong.

It's always up to the customer if they want it, but I strongly push corrosion inhibitor as it makes good sense in the long term.
