Testing water quality in heating and cooling systems is essential, whether you are dealing with a new installation or maintaining an existing one. The water circulating through your system can cause or reveal issues such as corrosion, which can significantly impact performance and system lifespan. While magnetic water filters, like those from Adey, are highly effective at protecting your system from corrosion by trapping particles, they cannot diagnose the root cause of the corrosion itself. That’s where water testing becomes critical.
Adey offers a simple yet effective solution with their on-site water test strips, which measure corrosion, pH, and inhibitor levels. These strips provide a snapshot of the water quality, helping to identify the core issues within the system. For example, the corrosion test strips will reveal if corrosion is present or building up, which is vital information to prevent further damage. Meanwhile, the pH test strips assess whether the water’s acidity or alkalinity falls within the optimal range of 6.5-8.5, outside of which different types of corrosion can occur. Finally, the inhibitor test strips measure the protective inhibitor levels in the system, ensuring the system is sufficiently protected against corrosion.
For more detailed analysis, Adey will soon be launching an advanced water testing service. This new service involves sending a water sample directly to their state-of-the-art testing facility. Adey will provide you with a collection jar to fill with system water, which you then send back for a comprehensive analysis. Once tested, you’ll receive an in-depth report detailing the precise chemicals and elements present in your system water, along with information on whether these levels are within acceptable ranges or require intervention.
This water testing service provides a complete diagnosis, offering a far more thorough understanding of your system’s health than test strips alone can offer. With detailed insights into the water chemistry, you’ll be equipped to take the necessary steps to balance and protect your system, ensuring longevity and optimal performance.
