HOW TO CORRECTLY MAKE THERMAL SYSTEMS

ON NEW HEATING SYSTEMS IN ALL COMPONENTS:

1) Before filling the system up carry out a deep wash until water is perfectly clean or a pickling cycle (i.e. removal of oxides from metal parts and of machining waste, e.g. oil, chips, hemp residues, bad quality pastes, etc.); we remind you that new does not mean clean.

Wash using DISIFLUX pump in order to preserve the boiler circulator, using FERRONEX (non-acid product).

2) Protect the system against CORROSION following the scheme hereunder:

a)	ABSENCE OF ATIGEL		System not protected against corrosion; add  FILMAX+Thermakil® to inhibit.
b)	ATIGEL 20 - 25 % Vol.		System not sufficiently protected; add FILMAX+Thermakil®
c)	ATIGEL (antifreeze) min. 30% Vol.		Protected system.

Remember to periodically check the antifreeze density as well as the alkaline reserve and reintegrate, if necessary. Reintegrate also the corrosion inhibitor every 4/5 years on average (regenerating product ANTIRUST).

ON EXISTING HEATING SYSTEMS:

On old systems (also partly: e.g. new boiler, old pipes) all the more reason carry out a pickling cycle, i.e. removal of oxides and of any slime; for this purpose the following treatment is recommended:

	For sludge also mixed to algae		ANTINEX+Thermakil®
	For rust or incoherent black oxide		ZINCONEX / ZINCONEX-Al
	For algae and bacteria (e.g. floor systems expansion tanks or open circuits)		Thermakil® or ANTIALGA PREVENTORE

Following the treatment protect the systems against corrosion choosing one among solutions a), b) or c).
