The Giannoni heat exchangers:
http://www.giannoni.fr/Prod-ABSOLUT-CONDENS.html

That's just a product brochu it doesn't answer the concerns and
criticisms raised in the GN article.

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.


Total tripe!!! It prevents sludge build up. And is a guarantee against
poor to no maintenance. Say this should be done and that should be done
indices total naivety of the real world.
