In the upcoming autumn-winter season, we pay special attention to the protection and cleaning of heating systems. When the temperatures outside are below zero, no one wants to struggle with a heating failure. BWT recommends checking the condition of the heating system to enjoy the warmth with family and friends on frosty evenings.

How to effectively ensure the efficiency of your heating installation?
Central heating is a commonly used heating system for single-family homes. However, to ensure the efficient operation of the heating furnace, it is necessary to protect it from corrosion, scale formation and contamination. Filling the heating system with the right water has a decisive influence on the efficiency, comfort and safety of heating. Scale is deposited in places that are characterized by high temperatures. In addition, calcium particles dissolved in water can spread throughout the heating system and cause, among other things, valve clogging. Deposits are also an ideal breeding ground for bacteria and promote the formation of biofilm, which can also result in valve clogging. Even 1 mm of deposit layer reduces thermal conductivity and increases energy consumption by 10 percent .
We know that prevention is better than cure, therefore the lack of regular care for the heating system can lead to its clogging, the creation of cold zones and increased energy consumption . SoluTECH is a preparation that is poured directly into the heating circuit - using the SoluTECH Applicator you will do it efficiently and without failure.
There are several basic types of installations: based on steel radiators and a gas boiler, a mixed installation (radiators and underfloor heating) and installations with a heat pump and underfloor heating - the SoluTECH product line is gentle and safe, which is why BWT recommends it to users of all installations after consultation with your heating specialist.
BWT SoluTECH installation cleaning agent
SoluTECH Cleaning is a cleaning and dispersing agent for impurities. It is a liquid preparation based on organic components and mineral corrosion inhibitors, providing a wide spectrum of cleaning efficiency and dispersion of impurities in iron and copper installations. SoluTECH Cleaning can be used in all types of systems. Its action is based on binding dispersed impurities into larger particles, which can be easily removed by filtration. It protects against both corrosion and the build-up of deposits, positively affecting the operation of the heating system. SoluTECH Cleaning is compatible with all metals.
Sludge and scale that builds up in the heating system can also cause harmful and costly blockages and downtime. Radiators, heated floors, boilers, heat pumps or tubular solar panels are all susceptible to damage, to prevent this we recommend SoluTECH Protection.
Preparation for securing BWT SoluTECH installations
SoluTECH Protection protects against corrosion, leaks and gas accumulation, which reduces the operating costs of the central heating system. Designed for installations made of copper, steel and aluminium. Protects radiators against the formation of micro-holes, which cause leaks over time. Ensures quiet operation of the furnace. The preparation is ready to use. 0.5 litres of the preparation is enough to effectively protect the entire installation*. SoluTECH Protection is suitable for all traditional central heating circuits It is recommended to use it before putting new equipment into service. It is also strongly recommended during maintenance or renovation of the boiler. This way you will avoid problems in new or refurbished equipment. SoluTECH Protection protects your investment and maintains a good return on your installation.
* recommended quantity for a heating system with a volume of up to 100 liters
As we already know, lack of regular care of the heating system can lead to the formation of cold zones and to increased energy consumption, to protect your installation we recommend SoluTECH Total Protection.
Preparation for securing BWT installations SoluTECH Complete protection
SoluTECH Total Protection is a ready-to-use agent with anti-corrosion and anti-sediment action. Ready-to-use liquid with heat transfer properties and corrosion-limiting action on metals including aluminum, steel, copper and other alloys. It creates a filter on their surface that protects and neutralizes acids that may form in the system. The agent is used in heat transfer systems or cooling systems (multi-material heating systems and water cooling systems). SoluTECH Total Protection prevents the formation of deposits and damage caused by the growth of algae and bacteria.
BWT SoluTECH Sealant
SoluTECH Sealant is a liquid preparation based on organic components. Provides effective protection against small leaks. For use in multi-material installations, including those containing aluminum. Does not affect the operation of pumps and valves. With SoluTECH Sealant, leak prevention is immediate and final. How does it work? The active product solidifies in contact with oxygen, so the smallest holes are immediately plugged.
BWT does not recommend applying SoluTECH yourself – consult your heating specialist.
