Corrosion Protection

The things known as corrosion inhibitors are additives that can stop a chemical attack on metal surfaces.  These groups of additives repel water and neutralize the acidic reaction bye products of corrision that is formed at the surface. These products can be used on a variety of metals. In order for this particular type of treatment to be effective and give the best results it should be added to your heating system during the initial installation. However, like many things, it will end up being added after the system has run for many years. Lots of cleaning solutions can be bought readily that help with the internal cleaning of the pipework in your particular system. A South Bank Plumber can introduce these treatments to a system. It is a good idea refer to the original makers data sheets for your system to really help and guide you through the process should you wish to treat an existing system with a corrosion inhibitor. It is quite possible that over zealous treatment of a system with theses products will expose leaks in the system that you did not know were present. The inhibitor is very efficient and will expose any weak spots in the system. An ageing central heating system will definitely contain quite a lot of sludge that has built up over its life to date. This sludge, whilst being a potential cause of a blockage within the system can also have the reverse affect sealing leaks within the pipework. Inhibitors and cleaning agents will destroy the sludge and expose problems. South Bank Plumbers only supply qualified tradespeople. The addition of corrosion inhibitors to your central heating system is a valid and highly recommended way of prolonging the overall life of the heating system.

Inhibitors guarantee that the pipes for the heating system are coated internally to keep the corrosive effects of the water to a minimum, and
provide a good and steady supply of lubrication to the heating system pump to increase the longevity. They also form an efficient barrier that opposes fight the build up of bacteria.
