11.9 Protecting Hydronic Heating Systems

The advantage of closed hydronic heating systems is that as long
as there are no leaks, (i.e., no need for constant make-up
water), the fill neutralizes (that is, it reaches equilibrium). The
long-term result is minimal scale build-up and insignificant
corrosion since after operating for a period of time, most oxygen
has been "starved" out of the boiler fill water. While boiler fill
water treatments have their place, leak prevention is the single
most important preventative maintenance item.
Regular maintenance and prompt repair of leaks, combined with
a one-time application of appropriate inhibitors, can help you
enjoy problem-free heating. Since it is difficult to guarantee that
a hydronic heating system will never leak, corrosion inhibitors
