Your Inbox Demonstration.
So you've completed your test and submitted your results to the Dr Radiator website. Hopefully you've now got your dashboard report giving you the basics of what the test has found.
Your report gives you a separate visual score for each element that you have tested. It provides a written explanation of what your scores mean and will also provide a recommendation of how to progress.
If your dashboard report has shown that your home heating system is under stress this can sometimes be a frustration and a worry because you may not understand fully what is happening inside your home heating system. That's is why we developed the inbox demonstration inorder to show you what is happening and to put you back in control.
Just follow the instructions on the cards within your home heating test kit.
Here's a summary of what the test is trying to achieve.
No it's not magic. It's just reality.
Tube A is the actual water from your Home Heating System.
Tube B is simple tap water.
Tube C is the tube in which you placed the vial of inhibitor. This tube represents a fully maintained Home Heating System.
The metal bearings in each tube represents the mixed metals that make up you home heating system. Copper, steel,Iron, aluminium and brass.
The metal bearings in each tube represents the mixed metals that make up you home heating system. Copper, steel,Iron, aluminium and brass.
These are what cause the build up of contaminants which eventually turn into the sludge which goes onto to cause damage to your Home Heating System.
By placing the tubes on the window cill, you have allowed the sunlight to warm and cool the tubes. This is a comparison to having your Home Heating System coming on and going off over a period of time.
After a few weeks of being left on your window cill you may notice that the test tubes from your inbox demonstration have begun to change colour at different rates.
Tube A.
Test tube A is your Home Heating Systems actual water.
If your dashboard report advised that your system was showing it was currently in good health you will likely see little or no change to test tube A. This would be inline with your dashboard report results and we would suggest no other action is required this time around. We recommend purchasing another home heating kit and being ready to complete the test again in 12 months. Annual checking of your system is most important.
However, if your dashboard report showed that your system was struggling it is very likely the colour has darkened. This is caused by the water of your Home Heating System reacting with the mixed metal bearing and the heating of the sun. This reaction will be occurring inside your home heating system and action to prevent damage to your home heating system is required as soon as is possible.
If the water in test tube A was dark from the outset, your short report will of advised of the need for urgent works. Depending on how dark the water was, It may or may not darken further, alternatively it may begin to turn to sludge.
Urgent action is required.
Tube B.
Test tube B is the simple tap water. This should be considerably darker to that of test tube A. The closer the colour of test tube A to test tube B, the more serious the poor health of your Home Heating System is.
Tube C.
Test tube C is the tap water which now also contains the vial of inhibitor. This should be as clear as when you placed it on the window cill.
Test tube see represents a healthy home heating system.
The closer the colour of test tube A to test tube C, the less serious the health status of your Home Heating System is.
However, any level of colour deteriation could be the sign of a health issue and advice should be sort.
