BWT Cleaning Up Your Tap Water

BWT Cleaning Up Your Tap Water

Protecting Your Drinking Water

Odsal Gas have been recently experimenting with water conditioning and filtration. With more and more people shying away from drinking water from the ‘taps’ and adopting bottled mineral water as their go to for hydration, we have decided to do some research into converting our ‘corporation pop’ into something we can trust.

BWT have proven to be the market leaders in water technology with their very affordable Best Max range of in-line filter systems.  There are a variety of cartridges available within the BWT range, each capable of removing specific elements including: limescale, bad taste, calcium carbonate, chlorine, pesticides and particulate matter from household drinking water. The new MagCart also adopts a magnesium mineraliser which in addition to providing great health benefits can also improve the taste of coffee tea and cordials. Other benefits include better tasting vegetables in cooking and flower bouquets last a whole lot longer.

BWT Domestic In-Line Water Filtration

National water treatment plants and water companies deliver perfectly clean, safe drinking water. Often, however, maintenance work and new connections to local water supply systems are necessary, causing contaminants and rust particles to enter domestic installations. In many parts of the world, where the water is particularly hard, household systems also suffer from an unwelcome build-up of limescale deposits. The consequences are not only unsightly but may also prove costly, ranging from expensive repairs, increased energy costs and clogged pipes to limescale build-up in household appliances and unattractive deposits on fittings and shower heads and in the shower itself.

The requirements for drinking water are also specified in various EU guidelines and drinking water regulations. These stipulate, among others, that drinking water should be colourless, clear, cool, odourless, pleasant-tasting and enjoyable to drink. It must also be free of pathogens and pose no risks to health.

Europe’s leading water technology company

As Europe’s leading water technology company, BWT and their market partners in the installer and retail sector can provide perfect water treatment solutions for domestic drinking water. They are designed for people who value hygiene and want to protect all their water installations and appliances against foreign particles, limescale and corrosion, and who also rely on a high level of water quality at the various outlets in the home.

As an all-round partner, BWT can supply all products relating to water treatment technology, from the correct installation and essential filtration technology to the vital ion exchanger and alternative limescale and corrosion protection technology.

  • Gas Safety During Floods

    Gas Safety During Floods

    Gas safety if you’re at risk of a flood

    Is your home at risk of flooding? If so you’ll want to take note of this advice

    We’ve seen increasingly wild, wet and unpredictable weather in recent years, so if your home’s in an area that is deemed at risk from flooding, it’s useful to know how to avoid damage to your gas appliances should such an emergency arise.

    Before the flood:

    • Contact a Odsal Gas Care for advice – upon carrying out an assessment they should be able to tell you how best to protect your appliances and pipework from water damage.

    During the flood:

    • Should you be advised to evacuate your property due to flood risk then the gas supply needs to be switched off at the Emergency Control Valve (provided it is safe to do so). The ECV is normally located next to the gas meter – if you’re unsure how to switch it off or are unable to do so you can contact the Emergency Service Provider on 0800 111 999 for advice.
    • You’ll also need to contact a competent electrical person to ensure that the electrical supply to the property and all appliances using electricity are safely disconnected.
    • Should you be supplied by Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) you’ll need to take into account LPG bulk storage vessels and gas cylinders. Flood waters can sometimes cause these to move or become detached from installation pipework – before any work is carried out you’ll need to contact the relevant LPG supplier for assistance.

    After the flood: Read More

    Vaillant EcoTec Training Day

    Vaillant EcoTec Training Day

    Vaillant Ecotec Pro 28OGC – One to One Certified

    Really Lucky today to have spent the whole day with Vaillant learning about their prized Ecotec Pro range of boilers. As the only engineer to have bothered turning up out of potentially 10 students, I had the option to go home or stay. Since this is not my style I insisted that it was ok to proceed with a one to one training session and carry on with the day as planned.

    Simple Operation

    Points that were covered in the session were very concise and highlighted the simplicity of diagnosing, pairing with smart controls, its operation and the commisioning of these boilers all using the innovative digital user interface. In addition a full breakdown of all the parts was covered from the removal the heat exchanger to the testing of thermisters.

    Very easy to work on

    All of the hardware in the heart of this boiler is top notch and very well made, it’s also reflective in the price tag.  I would class this as a Premium boiler at the top of its game, but it wont break the bank. For us engineers I honestly think that this is the most easiest combi-boiler I have ever worked on as everything has been positioned to allow for easy inspection. Its also very easy to gain access for removal of parts should the rare occasion transpire.

    Vaillant are now my ‘go to’ manufacturer choice especially for customers who are prepared to spend a little bit more for the quality.  They come with a 7 year warranty and can easily be upgraded to 10 years by installing one of there exclusive aftermarket  filters.

     

     

     

    Ideal Logic and Vogue Training Day

    Ideal Logic and Vogue Training Day

    Today Odsal Gas and Heating Care are embarking on some long awaited training from the coveted and very under-rated Ideal Boilers. These boilers are by far one of the best boilers on the market as they employ many new and innovative features and are very simple to use, reliable and are a breeze to work on. The New Locic Combi C and the Vogue Gen2 boilers are on the menu today and boast plenty of updates and modifications such as their new simple user interfaces which allow for better navigation for users and engineers alike. Also they will be demonstrating their new heat exchangers which are designed to suck every last drop of residual and latent heat from the exchangers and giving it to the heating saving even more pennies on your gas bills.

    These boilers have Fantastic Performance

    Without going into too much detail these boilers no matter how old they are provide more than the needed 35 degrees of heat rise on your domestic water. More like a whopping 45 degrees centigrade, which is enough for anybody’s washing and showering. This in part is due to their super reliable heat and plate exchangers that have been modified to supply heat within their cores without fear of ever blocking up.

    Looking Forward

    After extensive Ideal Logic training provided by GHS Heating for 4 months and extra fault finding and product training from Ideal themselves , Odsal Gas and Heating Care feel very confident about providing our customers with the expertise to ensure the correct installation, servicing and (dare I say) repairs of all Vogue and Logic based boilers.
