Heating Technology is Evolving
Although the next generation of heating design demands environmentally-friendly solutions, the requirement to ensure ongoing system health and efficiency remains the same.
ADEY’s mission to protect and maintain heating & cooling systems also remains unchanged.Our range of water treatment solutions are designed to keep renewable systems running at their best and includes products to tackle water treatment challenges that have always existed in conventional systems but also includes solutions to tackle the new challenges specific to low temperature heating.
As heating technology continues to develop, the ADEY Best Practice® process remains as relevant today as it always has.
Providing on site guidance to Test, Clean, Protect and Maintain heating systems for the next generation of heating.
Best Practice for low temperature systems
Test
Test and assess the system water quality
Test with: ADEY ProCheck® for presence of inhibitor, corrosion and pH levels.
Test for frost protection
Test with: A refractometer for glycol concentrations or a visual check of Anti-freeze valves (AFV’s) fitted to the system.
Clean
Clean existing systems to remove existing magnetic and non-magnetic debris
Pre-clean existing circuits with ADEY MagnaCleanse® and ADEY MC5+ ® using an appropriate flushing machine where necessary. Capture non-magnetic debris using a permanently installed in-line filter with non-magnetic capture capability.
Clean the system to remove installation debris
Clean the newly installed appliance and associated circuits with ADEY MC3+® followed by a cold-water flush to remove installation debris. Capture non-magnetic debris using a permanently installed in-line filter with non-magnetic capture capability.
Protect
Protect the system using the ADEY® chemical and ADEY MagnaClean® in-line filtration range
Protect the installation from corrosion using ADEY MC1+® Central Heating System Protector or as part of combined frost protection, corrosion protection and optional biocidal protection, use ADEYMCZERO® or MCZERO+ ®.
Protect the installation from the formation of biofilms using ADEY MC10+® Biocide.
Protect the installation from freezing conditions using ADEY MCZERO® or MCZERO+ ® Anti-Freeze solutions, or an appropriate Anti-freeze valve (AFV) .
Maintain
Maintain the system throughout its serviceable life with annual servicing and ongoing protection in accordance to BS7593:2019
Maintain with: Annual water quality testing using ADEY ProCheck® for the presence of inhibitor, corrosion and pH levels.
Maintain with: Annual checks of glycol concentration or a visual check of Anti-freeze valves (AFV’s) fitted to the system.

Keep Corrosion in Check.
MC1+ Protector®
- Suitable for all heating system types and metals
- Protects and prevents from corrosion and scale
- Compatible with all metals for multi-metal protection
- Suitable for use alongside other ADEY chemicals
- Neutralises up to 20% of cleaning residues left in the system
- Treats up to 125 litres
Using Anti-freeze valves?
ADEY MC1+® is fully compatible for use alongside other ADEY chemicals.
ADEY MC1+® is ideal for use alongside ADEY MC10+® Biocide for complete protection of renewable systems from biofilm and corrosion but where there is no requirement for glycol.
Give Biofilm the Boot.
MC10+ Biocide®
- Designed for low temperature heating systems including renewable and underfloor heating systems
- Prevents bacterial and algae formation
- Leave in additive (No need to fill and flush)
- Available in 300ml, 5 litres, 10 litres, and 25 litres
- Can be used in combination with ADEY MC1+® Protector
- Dual biocide formulation (more effective than single biocides)
Using Anti-freeze valves?
ADEY MC10+® is fully compatible for use alongside other ADEY chemicals.
ADEY MC10+® Biocide is ideal for use alongside ADEY MC1+® Protector for complete protection of renewable systems from bacterial biofilms and corrosion but where there is no requirement for glycol.
Zero worries at sub-zero temps.
MCZERO® Antifreeze
- Suitable for all heating system types to protect against freezing
- non-hazardous, propylene-based glycol solution
- Contains built-in corrosion and scale inhibitor
- Compatible with all metals
- Protects all metals and alloys - suitable with all water types.
The benefits of a combined solution
ADEY MCZero® combines anti-freeze and inhibitor, reducing the effort required to calculate and dose the required concentration of each solution.
ADEY MCZero® is ideal for high temperature heat pumps with built-in disinfection cycles where there is no requirement for biocide.
A big PLUS for heat pumps
ADEY MCZero+® combines anti-freeze, inhibitor and biocide reducing the effort required to calculate and dose the required concentration of each solution.
ADEY MCZero+® simplifies chemical water treatment for low temperature heating installations, making the selection and application quick and easy.
MCZERO+™ Antifreeze
- Suitable for all heating system types to protect against freezing
- Provides protection down to -18°C @ 40% Dilution
- non-hazardous, propylene-based glycol solution
- Contains built-in corrosion and scale inhibitor
- Compatible with all metals
- Protects all metals and alloys - suitable with all water types.
