FAQs
How often do I need to add the Trident Radiator Inhibitor?
The inhibitor is designed for long-term protection. It is typically added when the system is initially filled or refilled. It does not require regular re-application unless the system is drained.
What is the correct dosage for my radiator?
The recommended dosage is 5ml of inhibitor per 1 liter of system water capacity. For example, a 30-liter system requires 150ml of inhibitor.
Can I use this product in a system larger than 50 liters?
The Trident T101 is optimized for systems up to 50 liters. For larger systems, it is recommended to consult the manufacturer or use a product specifically designed for higher capacities.
Is this product safe for all types of radiators?
Yes, it is suitable for aluminium and other common radiator materials. Always refer to your radiator manufacturer's guidelines if unsure.
What does 'dual-action protection' mean?
Dual-action protection means the inhibitor tackles two main problems: it prevents corrosion (rusting) and also stops scale (mineral buildup) from forming inside your radiator system.
Can this product act as a primary antifreeze?
It provides some antifreeze properties for added winter safety, but it is not intended as a primary antifreeze in regions with extreme sub-zero temperatures. For such conditions, a dedicated antifreeze may be required.
Where is the best place to add the inhibitor?
It should be added directly to the radiator's open vent before filling the system with water. This ensures it mixes thoroughly with the system water.
Troubleshooting
Radiator is making unusual noises (gurgling, banging)
Ensure the correct dosage of inhibitor has been added. Air may still be trapped; try bleeding the radiator. If noise persists, check for scale buildup which may require system flushing.
Radiator is not heating evenly
Verify that the inhibitor has been distributed evenly throughout the system. Check for blockages or airlocks, and consider a system flush if issues persist.
Visible signs of corrosion or leaks
While the inhibitor protects against corrosion, existing damage may need professional attention. Ensure the inhibitor was added at the time of filling and is at the correct concentration.
Product spilled during application
Wipe up any spills immediately with a damp cloth to prevent damage to surfaces. Ensure the area is well-ventilated.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Provides comprehensive protection against corrosion and scale.
- Helps to reduce system noise by preventing hydrogen gassing.
- Suitable for a wide range of radiator materials, including aluminum.
- Easy to apply directly into the radiator.
- Offers antifreeze properties for winter protection.
Cons
- Limited to systems up to 50 liters.
- Requires careful measurement for correct dosage.
- Not suitable for use as a standalone antifreeze in extreme temperatures without further system checks.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the radiator is cool to the touch.
- Locate the radiator's open vent (usually at the top).
- Using the recommended dosage (5ml per 1 liter of system capacity), measure the required amount of inhibitor.
- Pour the measured inhibitor directly into the radiator via the open vent.
- Fill the radiator with water, ensuring no air is trapped.
Compatibility:
The Trident T101 is suitable for use with aluminium radiators and other common materials found in domestic heating systems. It is designed for sealed systems up to 50 liters in capacity.
Care:
This product is a maintenance-free inhibitor. Once added to the system, it works continuously. However, it is recommended to check the system periodically for leaks and to ensure the water level is maintained. For systems that are drained and refilled, the inhibitor should be replenished.
