Types of Maintenance Treatments Available

Maintenance Treatments & Corrosion Inhibitors

Water treatment is one of the most important steps in protecting your wood boiler or outdoor furnace. Our boiler treatment products are designed to:

• Prevent internal rust and corrosion
• Inhibit scale buildup
• Balance pH and nitrite levels to extend component life

We carry multi-ingredient formulas like ProTech 300 and AmTech 300, trusted for treating both steel and stainless steel systems. These treatments help maintain clean water chemistry, improve system efficiency, and reduce long-term wear.

Cleaners and Flushes

Before adding treatment, it's essential to flush out old buildup, sediment, and sludge. Our flush cleaners are specially formulated to clean internal surfaces safely and effectively. Using a cleaner like CF205 before applying your seasonal treatment ensures maximum absorption and long-lasting protection.

FAQs

What is a boiler treatment and why do I need one?

A boiler treatment is a chemical solution added to your boiler water to prevent corrosion, scale buildup, and pH imbalance. It keeps internal components from rusting or clogging, which improves efficiency and prevents breakdowns.

How often should I add maintenance treatments to my wood boiler or furnace?

Most treatments are designed to last 1 to 2 heating seasons, but you should test your water at least once per season to ensure treatment levels are still effective. Additionally, we recommend adding treatment once a season.

Can I use the same treatment in any wood boiler or furnace?

Usually, treatments are pretty universal and can be used across pretty much every outdoor boiler unit. However, some have warranties where the company forces you to use their product.
