Fernox F1 keeps my system clean and gas free - used when refilling system following a repair that required a system drain down.

Simple and easy to use. As appealable label so you can write on the date and stick it on your boiler when you put the protector in the system.

Looking after cental heating.

While having a new Radiator fitted I decided to clean the header tank out and add Fernox F1 protector. I have used this product in the past and found it helps to keep the heating system running smoother.

Does the job

Gordan Verified Purchase

Several years ago I tested this product by taking two small nails and placing one in a sealed jar of water treated with Ferniox F1 and the other in a sealed jar of plain water. Approximately 5 years later the one in the plain water had disintegrated into a small pile of rust and the other with the F1 was still shiny with no evidence of rust.
Despite being a bit more expensive I have always used this product since.

Enough to do the job

H Evans Verified Purchase

Better than alternative makes by far, paying a little extra is coppers when compared with remedial work on lime scale and corrosion in the heating system.
Beware of the internet, bought one the other day and the date of manufacture had been removed and batch number. In addition the cap seal assembly could be removed without braking the inbuilt cap security seal. Sent the item back for a refund.
Hence always buy from a reliable supplier like Toolstation who only deal in fresh stock from Fernox.
Note the date on the bottle is the manufacture date not the use by date.

Fernox has been my go to inhibitor for years. This was no exception. Just needed to top up following a partial drain of the system. Easy to use. I'm sure its working as usual. Would have needed two for an empty system.
