Sealed Primary Systems - Heatrae Sadia ElectroMax Installation & Servicing Instructions Manual

For optimum performance after installation
the Electromax boiler and its associated
accordance with the guidelines given in BS
7593:1992 "Treatment of water in domestic
hot water central heating systems". This must
involve the use of a proprietary cleanser, such
as GE Betz Sentinel X300 or X400, Fernox
Follow the manufacturer's instructions to
ensure correct cleansing of the system.
For long term protection against corrosion
be dosed with an inhibitor such as GE Betz
Sentinel X100, Fernox MB-1 or Copal, or
Salamander System Inhibitor in accordance
with the guidelines given in BS 7593:1992.

Electromax. The sealed system expansion
vessel fitted has a capacity of 12 litres
which, as a general guide, will be suitable
for a heating system of up to 107 litres. If
in doubt the total primary system volume
must be calculated to determine if additional
expansion volume is required.
The Electromax initial primary system cold
size = 0.11 x the total system volume. The
boiler and pipework within the Electromax
hold approx. 2 litres of water, therefore
additional system expansion volume will
only be necessary for systems that exceed
107 litres.
The Electromax boiler incorporates an

primary pipework is routed above the level
of the Electromax additional air vents must
return pipes and at any point where air is
likely to collect.
