Inhibition And Corrosion Protection; Upon Completion - Kamco CLEARFLOW CF90: QUANTUM Operating & Service Manual

INHIBITION AND CORROSION PROTECTION

IMPORTANT
1. The system is now full of fresh, clean water, and in
line with Building Regulations Part L : 2006, a
good quality corrosion inhibitor, such as
SYSTEMSAFE DM, must be added to the system
water to prevent further corrosion and scaling.
To comply with Benchmark documentation,
inhibitors must have passed the DWTA
(Domestic Water Treatment Association) product
performance standard and can be identified by
this logo on the pack.

UPON COMPLETION

1. Restore system to normal, restoring radiator
balance valves to original settings, removing any
temporary isolating valves or caps on the
expansion and cold feed pipes, and restoring non
return valves to normal operation if necessary.
2. Before re-connecting the feed & expansion tank, it
should be thoroughly cleaned, removing all traces
of dirty water and sludge, and then disinfected
with Kamchlor chlorine release tablets.
Issue: Mar 2008 Section B – Using the Quantum for Power Flushing
The inhibitor may be added to the system by
using the Quantum pump as follows:
2. Briefly open a dump valve to lower the water level
in the tank to just above the minimum level, close
the dump valve. Add the SYSTEMSAFE DM
inhibitor into the tank. Allow circulation through
the system for ten minutes, isolate the flushing
pump from the heating system, and switch off.
3. If the system is vented, the residual water in the
Quantum tank, which will contain a small quantity
of inhibitor, may be poured into a bucket and
added to the F&E tank after this has been
cleaned.
Note: In a pressurised system the inhibitor may
be injected into the system using an IK6 injector,
which will avoid wasting any inhibitor left in the
Quantum tank. (see page F.5).
The Quantum is also a very powerful descaling
pump, suitable for use when descaling
combination boiler domestic water heat
exchangers, any conventional domestic boiler,
water heaters, direct fired water heaters, thermal
store type water heaters, showers, and
calorifiers.
