Dave · Accepted Answer

Inhibitors are chemicals that you add to the water in your heating system to reduce the effects of corrosion with all the dissimilar metals that make up a heating system ie copper brass and steel

Dean · Answer

A chemical that protects heating system and yes you can buy it

Johnson · Answer

Inhibitor is a chemical that is pour into the boiler after installation to protect against corrosion

Champa · Answer

The inhibitor is the liquid which can add to radiator water which can prevent corrosion the pipe and boiler it’s the cost between £13.00 and above per bottle

Ryan · Answer

Yes you can buy it yourself, you drain heating and add it through radiator or towel rail it stops your radiator from corrosion

Dominic · Answer

The inhibitor is a central heating protector, you can't add this yourself as you will need to drain down the system, add cleaner, fill central heating up, drain again and add inhibitor in some cases a Magna clean is highly recommended to fit on your central heating system

Tanwir · Answer

The central heating inhibitor is a chemical solution that is added to your central heating system. Its purpose is to stop rust and internal corrosion from occurring inside your heating system, which could reduce performance and efficiency.
Yes, you can put it yourself from the magna filter or the radiators, the system may need draining down if put in from radiators.
cost is anywhere from £15 - £25

Grace · Answer

The inhibitor is a chemical that inhibits, or at least minimises your heating system, namely radiators, from corroding. Its ideal use is with a filter. 

Inhibitor cost under £20 and can be installed by yourself if you know how to, while filters are around £100 and it’s recommended a heating engineer/plumber does this for you. 

These will prolong the life of your heating system.

Chas · Answer

It's put in the central heating system to clean and lubricate pipes radiators and pump and heat exchanger system should be flushed first if it is old

Paul · Answer

Inhibitor stops hydro gasses from boiling out of your central heat water ie the water in your radiators if the gasses boil out of the water it oxidises thus causing corrosion in  the boiler make sure the system is properly flushed put some inhibitor in you will have no problems at all
