We can get rid of rust formation and frequent break down problems! We have retrofit methods for different situations and budgets. However, troubling conditions can be remedied without digging through the floor. It is impractical to remove and replace plastic piping in the floor. The formation of rust in radiant floor heating systems causes poor heating, discomfort and frequent breakdowns. Condensation in boiler heat exchanger, damages the boiler and can be safety hazard. What makes the oxidation process out of control, is the lack of mechanisms in flawed Radiant floor heating systems, to control the water temperature going into the floor, while maintaining the temperature of the water returning to the boiler hot enough to prevent condensation. Oxygen in water oxidizes the ferrous metal in the boiler and other components of the heating system. when the water temperature inside the grey-plastic pipe is higher than about 90☏, which is lower than our body temperature of 100 F, Oxygen is drawn into Radiant floor Heating system through plastic tubing with no air barrier shield. Oxygen permeation process accelerates with increase in temperature of the water inside the pipes. The oxygen ingress into the plastic pipes is called oxygen permeation process. Grey-plastic (polybutylene) is said, to draw oxygen into the plastic tubing through microscopic holes on plastic pipes.

This makes the installations, full of problems.Įxamples of these: using grey-plastic tubing for the in-floor or floor heating instead of the proper ones (Red coloured plastic which is the grey-plastic plus the red air barrier shield). Price-focused competition and very basic inspection guidelines by authorities, especially in the past, has led unscrupulous contractors in the new housing industry to cut corners, using cheap material and simplifying the installations.
Extra comfort comes with a bit of delicate installation and set-up work. Hot water radiant floor heating is the most comfortable form of heating Systems. Radiant Floor Heating/Hot Water Radiant Floor Heating/Hydronic Radiant Floor Heating, Radiant Heat Services
