Cleaning and maintenance of heating and cooling systems is a necessary process in order to maximize the performance of our system and at the same time to achieve fuel savings.
Common problems of heating and cooling installations that are prevented by proper maintenance are:
- the internal corrosion of the metal in the system by the formation of metal oxides, known as "magnetite mud"
- salt deposits &
- electrolytic erosion.
Problems in the Heating Network: Left: WITH and WITHOUT "magnettite mud" - Right: Pipes with deposits of salts
The main benefits of maintaining the heating system are:
- Fuel economy (oil - gas) or electricity consumed.
- Higher durability of the heating system.
- Increased safety in the entire heating system.
- Avoid costs for emergency damage, since with proper maintenance, damage is prevented.
Materials and Accessories for Maintenance of Heating, Cooling & Air Conditioning Networks
In order to maintain the quality of the heating and cooling network and maximize energy savings, new technologies and products have been developed that offer great durability and increased economy to the systems in which they are applied.
Magnetic Filters
The permanent solution to the problems caused by magnettite mud created in heating systems is the magnetic filters, which are now part of every modern heating and cooling system, as they give multiple benefits to each installation.

## FERNOX TF1 SIGMA UB Filter – Designed for horizontal installation under the boiler ##
Composite under boiler system filter with a brass manifold designed for easy installation in small, restricted areas and with concealed pipework. This high-performance filter can be installed directly under the boiler or in restricted spaces due to the compact, versatile design. The TF1 Sigma UB Filter offers the ultimate in installer choice and provides high efficiency protection against the build-up of system debris.
- A high capacity, compact design
- Ideal for use in restricted spaces
- Integrated three way valve with filter isolation and cleaning functionality
- Durable and robust construction, made from a high-quality glass reinforced engineering polymer, and non-porous forged brass
- Will not block or restrict flow
- Can replace return valve if required
## FERNOX TF1 OMEGA Filter. Small, Smart and Simple to Installation! ##
Small but powerful, the Fernox TF1 Omega Filter is the latest addition to the award-winning TF1 series, ideal for installations where space and access are limited.
The industry's first 25 year warranty with robust precision engineering, built to last. Ability to collect the market.
The filter does not block the flow of the system. Particles slow down when inserted into the filter and are easier to attach to the magnet. It makes the particles capable of remaining at the base of the filter. The unique Hydronic Particle Separation optimizes the flow path in the dead zone.
The construction of the nickel-plated brass filter meets the highest quality standards and is designed to last so long that the Fernox TF1 Omega filters are provided with a 25 year warranty for their main parts.
## TOTAL FILTER TF1 Hydrocyclonic and magnetic filter ##
The revolutionary Fernox filter, Total Filter TF1, which is placed in the returns of the heating network before the boiler and collects all the iron oxides there, thus preventing the formation of new magnetite sludge deposits in the system - thus keeping the water of the network clean heating.
Total Filter TF1 is the only line filter that uses patent technology, combining the effects of hydrocyclone action with special design magnets to remove, trap and hold magnetic and non-magnetic dirt from system water.
- It is the most effective filter in the market.
- Unique action, removes all magnetic and non-magnetic pollutants.
- Placed horizontally and vertically. It is the Fernox series "F" supply point.
- Cleaning in seconds without removal or disconnection.
- It does not block or limit the supply.
- All valves and fittings are included.

Cleaning Chemicals
Chemical cleaning (or dynamic rinsing) is the most efficient and effective method for cleaning the central heating system.The fundamental principle is to create a dynamic flow of clean water under controlled conditions to remove sediments from the system. A dynamic rinsing pump and the appropriate products for cleaning and protecting central heating systems are required.
