Transforming Water Treatment Maintenance

In an industry first, ADEY launched Sense®, a range of digitally-enabled water treatment products which work together to stay ahead of heating system breakdowns. Designed to help social housing, private landlords and contractors effectively monitor heating system health across multiple properties, without needing to be in the property itself, Sense means problems with water quality can be detected before they cause a costly and inconvenient breakdown.

Unparalleled Benefits for Customers

With poor water quality (often seen as magnetite or sludge) the biggest cause of heating system and boiler breakdowns*, protecting against this invisible problem can reduce emergency call-outs and extend the life of the boiler by up to seven years**, at a time when repair and maintenance (R&M) budgets and boiler replacement schemes are under increasing pressure.

Effective water treatment, which can be implemented as part of Sense, will also positively impact tenant comfort and welfare, essential as part of complying with the Habitable Homes Act. A clean system will use up to 7% less gas*** and emit as much as 47% more heat ***, helping residents to save money on their bills while keeping warm. There is also a reduction in carbon emissions by up to 7%***, which will help to support social housing providers in their sustainability goals. With the added benefit of Sense® allowing you to see inside a heating system without being on site, there are significant time and efficiency savings to be made.

Protecting against the damaging effects of magnetite isn’t just a one-off job. Even when a system that’s very dirty has the debris removed, there needs to be ongoing protection and maintenance to help maintain water quality for the long term so that the system remains balanced and works at optimum efficiency. Once magnetite builds up, data shows that it can accelerate quickly, and if an engineer doesn’t check the level until their next visit, the damage could already be done. This is where the remote monitoring of Sense comes into its own; an alert will come through on the portal highlighting the problem in real time so the property owner can take action to fix the problem BEFORE it causes a breakdown.
