snake oil in short, just makes the water slightly more conductive

Fernox is a highly reputable UK company with a portfolio of high volume selling products. The claim of a 0.8% energy saving by adding F6 is difficult to verify. centralheatking

Heat in equals heat out. Not saving any energy.

Simon I think what they are trying to claim is that 'magic' additives will get the heat in the CH water away from the boiler to the radiators more quickly....so I suppose if your boiler is in a garage etc
then this stuff will transfer the heat better. I dont really see this, BUT eg The Merlin Engine
Spitfires etc 2nd World War would have not functioned without enhanced heat transfer water
additives ...like Sentinel R100 ....centralheatking

I would try it in my own system but would be hard to measure any difference

Update chaps rads definitely seem to warm up quicker I would recommend trying some in your own system . Kop

How much was it?
Can you just add or do you need to flush out other chemicals that may be present?

 

[king of pipes]

I had F1 in my system already so added another with the F6 mate £15ish , probably better to flush rather than mix chemicals though . Kop

So as Fernox quote this additive can save £8 for every £1000 spent on gas so it is a marginal gain plus its inhibitor qualities, seems good to me. centralheatking
