How long can I leave in Sentinel X400

[ABB]

Hello,

I’ve got a build up of sludge in my system so wanted to run a cleaner through. I have a magnaclean fitted so was hoping to add Sentinel X400 to the system and leave it in indefinitely - just cleaning the magnaclean weekly for a few weeks until it runs clean rather than draining/refilling system.

In theory is there any problem with leaving X400 in the system indefinitely? If so is there any other product that will do the job I want and can be left in the system permanently?

Appreciate any advice.

Call or email Sentinel is your best bet.

Just read the instructions:

This says that you can leave X400 in the system indefinitely but it only keeps the sludge in suspension for 3-4 weeks, i.e. for full effectiveness you need to drain/flush and refill with clean water and inhibitor within that period.

The problem with your no-drain/magnaclean approach is that not all the components of sludge are magnetic so they'll stay in the system unless you drain.

If it’s that grubby bite the bullet and hire a powerflush and do it properly

2 weeks max I would say

Whatever it says on the side of the bottle

Just get someone into to do a powerflush. Ring around and get a few quotes and go from there.
