1- PROTECTION OF THE INSTALLATION
Geminox insists the use of the following heating system water conditioning products:
- BIONIBAL corrosion inhibitor (or equivalent products),
- BIONIBAGEL antifreeze and corrosion inhibitor (or equivalent products).
BIONIBAL is a biocide, traceable corrosion inhibitor
specially designed to protect multi-metal heating cir
-
cuits.
Through its efficient means of acting against all ty-
pes of corrosion and all types of bacteria, BIONI-
BAL:
- Prevents the formation of rust and metallic slud-
ge,
- Prevents the formation of algae and bacteria
sludge,
- Also suitable for under-floor heating systems,
- Prevents hydrogen build up,
- Contains an internal marker so that doses can be
easily controlled.
BIONIBAL DOSAGE:
- Without under-floor heating: or connection using
reinforced polyethylene type pipes:
1% (0.5 l of BIONIBAL for 50 l of water).
- With under-floor heating or radiators connected in
reinforced polyethylene type pipes:
2% (1 l of BIONIBAL for 50 l of water).
BIONIBAGEL is the antifreeze version of BIONI-
BAL.
Antifreeze, with glycol monopropylene base, corro-
sion inhibitor, biocide, traceable.
In addition to the characteristics of BIONIBAL, it pro-
tects the installation from frost for residences that
are not inhabited all the year round or that are in the
coldest regions.
BIONIBAGEL DOSAGE:
The number of litres of BIONIBAGEL to put in the
circuit depends on the volume of your installation
and the extreme temperature of your region.
Scrupulously refer to the recommended use and im-
plementation of the manufacturer's products.
Important warning
Bionibal or Bionibagel must only be put in a clean installation that has been checked. It is the-
refore imperative to fill the entire system one or more times with clean water as required. In
some cases, the system may need washing by a suitable product:
Example:
- In a new installation: To detect any leaks and eliminate any traces of welding, weld solder
or other residues.
- On an old installation: To eliminate any trace of sludge and other products in the radiators,
under-floor heating system and the boiler.
Only add antifreeze when the boiler is empty.
If the heating circuit is treated with antifreeze, the hot water circuit must be drained during pe-
riods when there is a risk of freezing (FCX + MODULE FCX).
