Aquapex and Hepex

in THE MAIN WALL
Does Aquapex really not have an Oxygen Barrier, or is it just the approval and marking stripe? Just curious.

    No O2 barrier.

    Only the HePex has it. I have seen what happens when it is installed in a radiant application... not pretty.

    Along these same Lines

    Several times, I have isolated non-barrier radiant systems from Iron-Steel boilers and components with plate heat exchangers and all non-ferrous on the non-barrier side. Does anyone have a good method for flushing/treating they would be willing to share? Once the rust gets severe, it kinda hangs around. Some kind of cleaner (that works) would be great if anybody knows?!

    Just had to...

    clean a system that had heat-way onyx tubing.... supposed barrier but not. Flushed out system w/ lots of water, added Rohmar 9100. System will run for a few weeks then I will flush out w/ water again and add the 922.

    Unfortunately the circulators were toast.
