Water treatment products manufacturer Fernox is calling on installers to implement the best practice guidance outlined in BS 7593:2019 before it becomes mandatory in June.
The new measures outlined in Approved Document L of the Building Regulations are set to come into effect from 15th June 2022.
Approved Document L of the Building Regulations, which looks at the conservation of fuel and power, includes additional measures that will help to keep central heating systems working at optimum efficiency, the company noted. The changes include ensuring an in-line filter is installed, checking inhibitor levels on site annually, and conducting lab analysis of the system water or re-dosing every five years.
Richard Crisp, head of chemistry at Fernox, said: “The Fernox range of water treatment products has been designed to offer engineers an effective, easy to use solution for every task. For example, our chemical water treatment range comes in 265ml, 500ml and Express 400ml versions to suit a wide range of systems, and all chemicals can be safely used in conjunction with each other for full protection. In addition, we have designed our TF1 range of in-line filters to be quick and mess free to install and clean and we offer handy on-site and laboratory testing kits. With the Fernox range, engineers are equipped to adhere to the latest regulations and protect and maintain central heating systems long-term.”
