Sentinel - X100 Inhibitor 1L, Market Leading Heavy Duty Central Heating Inhibitor, Protection Against Corrosion and limescale, ensures Maximum Heating Efficiency and extends System Life, Clear (88000)

Product Information

After cleaning, the system should be drained and flushed until the water runs clear. On refilling, the system should be treated with Sentinel X100 Inhibitor or Sentinel X500 Inhibited Antifreeze. Circulating debris in central heating systems can cause wear and premature failure of pumps, valves and heat exchangers. Sentinel's filters are the perfect filter solution to protect the system against magnetic debris.

The unique composition of Sentinel X800 Fast Acting Cleaner provides a powerful penetrating cleaning action. It will restore more even heat distribution to a property, keeping occupants warmer and bills lower. The rapid, heavy-duty clean that Sentinel Fast Acting Cleaner provides is ideal when commercial heating systems require immediate, unscheduled maintenance. Our Vortex500 works in exactly the same way as the Vortex300, adding a larger collection capacity and the ability to be installed on larger pipework too, making it ideal for heat pump systems. Sentinel X800 Fast Acting Cleaner should be used as a 1% solution in mains water to remove typical levels of deposits of iron oxide and calcium carbonate. Where systems are badly fouled, a higher concentration (up to 10%) is recommended. General purpose treatment for total protection against scale and corrosion. For use in all types of indirect central heating systems, including those containing aluminium. Non-acidic. Its formulation also contains agents to ensure the protection of system metals against corrosion during the cleaning as well as preparing the installation for the addition of Sentinel X100 Inhibitor.

Sealed systems: If the system is empty, add to any convenient point before filling. If full, use a dosing vessel to inject via the filling loop or other access point. When using concentrate gel, add directly to the heating system either via a radiator air bleed valve, or via the fill loop using the appropriate adaptor and a suitable caulk gun. Where systems are badly fouled, we recommend a longer circulation period (approximately 3-4 weeks). The product is not aggressive and can be safely left in the system for extended periods. We recommend that a filter is installed on all systems, in conjunction with a cleaning of the system, to capture any existing debris. Our range of cleaners is comprehensive and can be choosed based on the scenario that presents itself. See our cleaners and system cleaning-related products here. For optimum results, systems should be cleaned and thoroughly flushed in accordance with standard cleaning and commissioning protocols such as BSRIA Guide “Pre-Commission Cleaning of Pipework Systems” or similar Water Treatment Guidelines from industry organisations such as the Industrial & Commercial Energy Association (ICOM).

A filter will help capture debris, in a collection chamber, and hold it there until the chamber can be emptied.

The circulation pump of the system can be used to circulate the cleaning solution; however equipment which provides a more rapid circulation can provide a more effective clean. When using an external cleaning rig, the product can be dosed directly to the buffer tank of the rig (follow equipment manufacturer’s instructions). To clean an older system in accordance with BS 7593 it is recommended that this product is used withpowerflushing equipment. In this scenario, administer Sentinel X800 Fast Acting Cleaner via thepowerflushing equipment, following theequipment manufacturer's instructions. Alternatively, circulate theproduct (preferably at normal operating temperature, with all valves open and the pump turned tomaximum flow) for a minimum period of 1 hour or until satisfactory performance is restored. Keep up to date with how Sentinel can help treat your air source/air to water heat pump system and make sure it is running efficiently. Sentinel X100 Inhibitor can be added to the system in a number of ways. For open vented systems, dose via the expansion tank during the final fill. For empty sealed systems, add to any convenient point before filling. For full sealed systems, use a Sentinel Dosing vessel to inject via the filling loop or other access point. Sentinel X100 Inhibitor is also available in Rapid-Dose aerosol and Concentrate gel formats.

Best practice, derived from documentation provided by industry organisations such as BSRIA or the Industrial & Commercial Energy Association (ICOM), is that an older commercial heating system should be thoroughly cleaned and flushed out before the installation of a new boiler. Sealed Systems:If the system is empty, add to any convenient point before filling. If full, usea Sentinel Dosing Vessel to inject via the filling loop or other accesspoint. The Sumo softener is a high-performance, compact, non-electrical and economic way to combat the harmful effects of limescale on your appliances.The horizontal, front facing filter is designed to be fitted in the most restrictive of spaces whilst delivering fantastic debris capture. For best results, systems should be cleaned and flushed with clean make-up water. New systems and those up to 6 months old with Sentinel X300, existing systems with Sentinel X400. If the system is already noisy due to limescale deposits in the heat exchanger, Sentinel X200 should be added together with Sentinel X100. Sentinel X100 Inhibitor provides protection for clean hydronic heating systems against limescale and corrosion. Suitable for use in all types of indirect heating system, Sentinel X100 Inhibitor will extend the life of the system, ensuring maximum efficiency and minimising fuel usage.

Sentinel X100 Inhibitor should be dosed at 1% of system volume; ie. 1 litre per 100 litres of system water. Lifetime protection for heating and hot water systems with the best practice process of Clean, Protect, Maintain.Sentinel X400 High Performance Cleaner restores a more even heat distribution to the house, keeping the property warmer and bills lower. Reviving an old heating system is a more cost-effective way to return warmth to a property than the installation of a whole new system.
