Giannoni are a well respected company. Their heat Xs are in Vaillants,
Broags, Glow Worms and many others. They are a quality product with a
good reputation. If the system is installed properly, and with a
Magnaclean, then there is little chance of sludge build up in the heat X.

If the system is installed and maintained properly, there is no need for a
Magnaclean because there is no sludge.

The article was on about poorly maintained system and that this could lead
to these heat exchangers being blocked as a result. A Magnaclean will
prevent the problem occurring.



Cleaning and then maintaining the system properly will prevent the
sludging, not only protecting the heat exchanger but also extending the
life of the radiators.

Using a Magnaclean is like putting Elastoplast on a broken leg.


Surely it's more like fitting a plaster cast to the leg, but without
fixing the loose carpet on the stairs?

Yes, you're right. That is a better way to describe it.
