in Radiant Heating
I have a weil mclain ultra 2 which I am having a sediment problem with. it is a 4 yr old radient system. I have onyx tubing as well as pex in the bsmnt floor.  I have a strainer in line right outside the boiler in the supply which I am having to clean every day or I have very little - if any water flow.  I have found out that weil mclain is sending out Sentinal x100 water treatment with the boilers now. I have flushed out my system and added 2 tubes of treatment and have seen no positive results thus far. (added treatment 1-17 and today is 1-22) . I have had the sediment tested and found it to be 50% aluminum.  does anyone have any experience with this product or know how long it takes to work?  I was told that the product will coat the heat exchanger to protect it from further corrosion.

    NEED MORE INFO

    YOU NEED TO PROVIDE MORE INFO TO HELP YOU.  wHAT IS THE PH OF THE WATER IN THE BOILER?  WAS THERE ANY GLYCHOL IN THE BOILER SYSTEM AND IF SO WHAT TYPE?  REMOVAL OF THE "SEDIMENT" WILL REQUIRE FLUSHING OF THE ENTIRE SYSTEM AND THEN ADDING THE NEUTRALIZER BACK IN TO THE SYSTEM.  IF YOU DO NOT FLUSH OUT THE SYSTEM YOU WILL NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM
