X800 aluminium heat ex

[zeebeedee]

According to sentinel this is ok to use for up to 3 hours. Anyone got any experience of this?

 

[Billy Bob Bob]

is that the ferroquest or later jetflow?

 

[zeebeedee]

The jet flow is what I get from the merchants. Wasn't aware there was two types.

ferroquest was killing ali hexs they made a new mix and re-branded it x800 jetflow would not trust it for long in a ali hex maybe why destruction's say max 3 hours

 

[REDSAW]

if in doubt..leave it out!

 

[zeebeedee]

[Billy Bob Bob]

So basically stop flushing with x800 and switch to x400

 

[Roger Welton]

Unless you fit a decent boiler

I've just dosed up a system with x800, read about in for a min of 1hr,but couldn't find a max time on bottle,but it did state "suitable for all metals"
Best I have a look at their website

EDIT
Just looked at their web site and it didn't state a max time, just says suitable for all common metals including aluminium
Can be left in system for a min of 1 hr or until satisfactory results are achieved

Ive got circulation problems on a job am doing tomorrow with a main in, was going to use x800 for couple hours ? X400 better ?

 

[Ermintrude]

X800 for few hours

 

[vern]

Don't put x800 anywhere near a Vaillant unless really well flushed out, or you will need a new pump!

definitely

 

[zeebeedee]

I used f5 express today, great results to be honest. Put it in this morning left it running and went back this afternoon. Flushed every leg with the mains. Worked a treat!

 

[vern]

I only use fernox now pal, F1,F3 & F5' never had a problem

Same here after today's results

Group service are replacing a huge amount of pumps, all common to x800 it swells the seals in the pump and burns it out, it also goes to jelly, indeed if left in a cold spot to can pour out of the bottle as jelly! Avoid!

 

[vern]

Also had x800 take out a WB5 heat hex, I don't care what it says on bottle!
