X800 Jetflo
Central Heating ProductsX800 Jetflo Need guidance choosing the most appropriate Sentinel Cleaner? ... click here Sentinel X800 Jetflo is a powerful, highly active cleaning agent for use in central heating systems. It is specifically designed for use in conjunction with power flushing equipment and will remove objectionable iron oxide and calcium based deposits from heat exchangers, radiators and pipe work. Its unique composition allows Sentinel X800 Jetflo to act as a penetrating dispersant under neutral pH conditions, eliminating the need to clean with conventional acids and the problems associated with them. The formulation also contains agents to help protect metal from corrosion.
Sentinel X800 Jetflo is suitable for use with all commonly encountered metals and alloys.
Dosage:
A 1 litre bottle of Sentinel X800 Jetflo is sufficient to clean a typical system of approximately 8 - 10 radiator panels. For larger systems, 2 litres of product should be used. Where systems are badly fouled, a higher concentration is recommended, i.e. 2 litres of Sentinel X800 Jetflo in a typical system, though the product will not clear a completely blocked pipe.
To clean an existing system in accordance with BS7593 it is strongly recommended that Sentinel X800 Jetflo is used with power flushing equipment which will provide a more rapid and effective clean. In such case, Sentinel X800 Jetflo will be administered via the power flushing equipment (follow equipment manufacturer'gs instructions). Alternatively, Sentinel X800 Jetflo should be circulated, preferably at normal operating temperature, with all valves open and the pump turned to maximum flow for a minimum period of 1 hour or until satisfactory performance is restored.
After cleaning, the system should be drained and flushed until the water runs clear. On refilling, the system should be treated with Sentinel X100 Inhibitor, or Sentinel X500 Inhibited Antifreeze.
Feeding
owerflushing: Follow the instructions supplied with the powerflushing machine.
Open Systems: Dose via F&E cistern, via a by-pass feeder or use a Sentinel Dosing Vessel.
Sealed Systems: If the system is empty, add to any convenient point before filling. If full, use a Sentinel Dosing Vessel to inject via the filling loop or other access point.
Physical properties
Appearance: Beige/Tan dispersion
Odour:Mild
Specific gravity:1.15 (20°C)
pH (concentrate): 6.5 (approx)
Freezing point: -4°C
your sure that x400 would not have been more appropriate...

LMAO
great minds think alike matey
Google is our chum
then why not use X400?
you can leave it in "indefinitely" but I wouldn't do that unless I had fitted a Magnaclean to trap the circulating sediment and I could empty it out from time to time.
Be careful if you have an Aluminium heat exchanger, shouldn't be left in for more than 3 hours if you do
You just don't have any "Party" in ya at all do ya ..........
