ADEY Sense®
Stay ahead of heating system breakdowns.
Giving you the power to see inside heating systems without being in the property, and take action to stop breakdowns BEFORE they happen.
Corrosion works faster than you think
Magnetite is caused by an imbalance within heating system water. This could be initiated by many factors including pH and corrosion. The problem is that once magnetite starts to form, it can accelerate rapidly and cause big problems in sensitive boiler components.
Our scientists have been carefully monitoring what happens with magnetite in real-life heating systems up and down the country thanks to ADEY Sense remote monitoring technology. This is what they found...
Significant degradation of
system chemistry
System chemistry out of control
A system under control
A low amount of magnetite has been detected within the ADEY Sense filter initially, with the pace of magnetite accelerating over time.
The system is not under control. Activity continues, showing decreasing control of water quality and accelerated corrosion level.
Likely reasons for this:
- A change in system chemistry due to system
maintenance e.g. radiator draindown. - The system is not being protected with inhibitor.
- There’s a leak in the system.
Significant degradation of
system chemistry
System chemistry out of control
A system under control
A high amount of magnetite has been collected initially;
however, further magnetite collection continues.
The system is not under control.
Likely scenarios:
- Settled magnetite in radiators may have been drawn into
suspension through maintenance undertaken when the
filter was fitted. - The system is not being protected with inhibitor.
- There’s a leak in the system.
- A filter installed on a system that wasn’t cleaned.
Significant degradation of
system chemistry
System chemistry out of control
A system under control
The system chemistry is under control; however, the magnetite levels are too high and requires a flush to improve heating efficiency and to reduce risk of future breakdown.
The system is now under control.
Likely scenarios:
- Settled magnetite in radiators may have been drawn into suspension through maintenance undertaken when the filter was fitted
- The system was not sufficiently clean prior to fitting the filter
- The system is now protected with inhibitor
Monitoring heating makes more Sense
Sometimes checking water quality at an annual service isn’t enough to keep a heating system protected.
Changes to water quality puts a property at risk of central heating breakdown and increased gas bills due to the boiler having to work harder.
Seeing for early signs of these changes could save the cost and inconvenience of a breakdown and help to prolong the life of the boiler by up to 7 years.
Water management is key to preventing the main cause of central heating breakdown.
