CENTRAL HEATING INHIBITOR TO ADD OR NOT

[Aire]

You absolutely do not need to add a filter if he's adding inhibitor. Inhibitor should be added whenever any work is done to system and that should be standard practice by any plumber. But stating that if he adds inhibitor you will need a filter is an outright lie.

The question of whether to fit one or not wasn't raised, the plumber told op one was needed if inhibitor was added which isn't correct.

ok so just do both its obvious to moi , regards Centrakheatking
these filters due to over supply in uk market are falling over each
over each other to get any decent market share and are so cheap
why not put one in

I'm all for central heating filters but lying to a customer to get the work isn't the way to go about it.

My main concern was running the heating system with all the new rads , 3 way port and pump without inhibitor .
I have no issues in fitting a filter.
After lurking on this forum for last couple of weeks while i was having bathroom ensuite upgraded . Inhibitor in CH seemed a must i was just thrown by his sudden claim that if he were to add the inhibitor it would cause damage to the boiler with out a filter .

Screwfix did not have filter in stock so plumber has agreed to return to fit filter Saturday .

System has no inhibitor at present ,is a couple of days with out inhibitor ok ?

should i buy a bottle and add ?

Couple of days will be fine, I'm also not knocking the plumber and he may be good at his job but be warned that he has lied to you.

As with all plumbers hes phone never stops ringing.

I honestly think he was in rush to get away as he wasn't supposed to be here today he should have finished yesterday.

I did think what he told the wife sounded incorrect so asked here.

But how hard is it to put inhibitor in if you have the system all drained down anyway ?

Again everyone who has commented on this thread has informed us mere mortals .

Thankyou
