Adding scale reducer and central heating inhibitor

Question

Should I add scale reducer and central heating inhibitor to my heating system? And must they be added on separate days/how long between adding these products?

Martin · Accepted Answer

A scale reducer is cut into the pipework, on the cold main, and the inhibitors should be added into the central heating side. A heating engineer will be able to test the levels of inhibitors within the system to determine whether you need to add more or not. Both can be done at the same time

Yes you should but not on separate day you can added in same day and same time

Waheed · Answer

I would add a scale reducer in hard water area if needed. System would need to be flushed out with chemicals first by either a hot flush or a power flush depending on the condition of the water and sludge. Inhibitor to be added after but using the same manufacturer as cleaner so no chemical reaction later causing leaks.
