Can Salamander products be used with under floor heating?
Under Floor Central Heating (UFCH) is gaining popularity in the UK. It uses a network of under floor polybutylene (PB) barrier piping to radiate heat from under the floor. Although the pipe system itself will be “corrosion and scale free”, this will be connected to metal components such as the boiler, manifold system, circulatory pump, or possibly integrated with existing radiators. Polybutylene pipe fittings are often of the “push-fit” type and as such are susceptible to air ingress. Untreated, this will lead to an unwanted increase in the resistance of the network due to the formation of corrosion and sludge debris. It is therefore important to clean and inhibit systems of this type with Cleaner and System Inhibitor.
