Too much mineral buildup will restrict the system\u2019s water flow. Essentially, the effectiveness of the boiler is lessened.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.oatey.com\/sites\/default\/files\/2022-03\/823909735_Understanding_the_Impact_of_PH_032022_350x233_ver3.jpg\" width=\"290\" height=\"193\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If the pH levels are too low, the water has turned acidic. This leads to rust and corrosion \u2014 a serious problem since boilers are typically made of copper, cast iron, and aluminum. As mentioned earlier, enough corrosion can stop system operation altogether.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>How can you adjust the pH?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Maintenance managers or contractors can use a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oatey.com\/products\/hercules-sludgehammer--universal-corrosion-inhibitor--104269665?upc=032628352971\">corrosion inhibitor<\/a>\u00a0to balance out the pH \u2014 a seamless fix. However, if the buildup or corrosion has been going on for several years, the system will probably not recover with this treatment. Instead, you\u2019ll have to use a cleaner to flush the system to maximize boiler efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0Hercules\u00ae Sludgehammer 1 System Restorer &amp; Noise Reducer is an option for maintaining a boiler system. More aggressive than the system cleaner, it also cleans and reduces kettling (bubbling and banging), while restoring system efficiency. Maintenance managers or contractors can pair this product with a corrosion inhibitor for annual heating system-maintenance checks.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, you must test the pH of boiler systems to maximize their efficiency, using products that can make monitoring pH levels simple and easy. If this testing uncovers damage to the system, there are also ways to alleviate and fix that damage<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>4 tips to extend the life of a boiler: <a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1BbLr1Ofw9kLV1TVtZxAKtj31bAOyJ6uK\/view?usp=sharing\">Download<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>MSDS: <a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1qXgcqNnmHL6pXA03fC6tncFrWU2ydV-V\/view\">Download<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Certifications: <a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1G8ixjXFlfMcSPEq9-iM_i6RaI0YUFDSP\/view?usp=sharing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Download<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sludge Hammer 2 Universal Corrosion Inhibitor Sludgehammer 2 protects against corrosion and lime-scale build-up while helping maintain heating system efficiency.
