Default Can anybody recognise this plumbing item. I think it may be a de-aerator

Matt, again..."If the system is not re-dosed, and 95% are not, then the
Magnaclean prevents blockages". Got it?

The same ignorance that would cause people not to replenish their
inhibitor
will predicate against the use of an expensive alternative.


If it is fitted on a boiler change or new installation then it is there,
even when the house changes hands and the new owners are ignorant of
inhibitor. How many service engineers replace inhibitor? How many
bother to check if it has been replaced?


Given that in reality inhibitor should
last many years despite what it recommends on labels, the statistics you
quote bear little resemblance to reality.


I haven't quoted ant stats.

I think many would agree in principle that inhibitor is often overlooked,
nevertheless inhibitor is only lost through leaks or work which required
draining where it wasn't replaced through negligence. I cannot believe
that only 5% of systems have sufficient inhibitor to prevent corrosion.


As you seen to think inhibitor has an amazing life expectancy, can you put a
time of its usefulness before it requires replacing? 10 years, 20 years, 30
years? And will you back this up please.
