Underfloor heating has actually been around for over a decade, and most homes use water-based underfloor heating.
Underfloor heating has actually been around for more than a decade, and most families use water-based underfloor heating. Water-based underfloor heating has advantages such as health benefits, space saving, improved room aesthetics, energy efficiency, environmental friendliness, long service life, and the ability to provide 24-hour hot water. The actual lifespan of underfloor heating is 50 years, but if maintenance is not paid attention to during use, it will shorten the lifespan of the underfloor heating. When maintaining underfloor heating, how can you clean the underfloor heating yourself to extend its lifespan? Next, we will explain the cleaning method of underfloor heating pipes, hoping to help everyone.
How to Clean Underfloor Heating Pipes Yourself - The Importance of Cleaning Underfloor Heating Pipes
After using underfloor heating pipes for a period of time, a large amount of sludge, bacteria, and scale will accumulate on the inner walls of the pipes, causing pipe blockage, resulting in poor water circulation, insufficient heat dissipation, and seriously affecting the heating temperature and effect. Practice has shown that during the use of underfloor heating, the inner walls of the underfloor heating pipes will accumulate 1 mm of dirt per year, which will cause the indoor temperature to drop by 6℃. This not only affects the normal use of underfloor heating but also causes energy waste, so cleaning the underfloor heating pipes is imminent.
How to Clean Underfloor Heating Pipes Yourself - Cleaning the Filter
The filter should be cleaned once a year before using underfloor heating. The specific method is as follows: First, close the inlet and return water valves of the connecting pipe, then open the filter and filter screen and clean them, and check whether the filter screen is damaged or blocked. If damaged, replace it with a filter screen of the same specification and reinstall it as it was. Underfloor heating pipe materials refer to the materials used in underfloor heating as a carrier for low-temperature hot water circulation. During the initial water supply or use of the underfloor heating system, air may accumulate in the pipes, affecting the heating effect. At this time, open the air release valve of the manifold to discharge the gas, the method is the same as traditional heating. The water flow rate of each branch of the system can be controlled by adjusting the ball valves on each branch to control the temperature of each part, but care should be taken during adjustment to avoid affecting other branches. The underfloor heating pipes laid under the floor are only about 3-100px from the floor surface, and hammering or striking the floor can easily damage the underfloor heating pipes. Therefore, hammering or striking the floor where the underfloor heating pipes are laid is strictly prohibited to prevent damage to the underfloor heating pipes.
How to Clean Underfloor Heating Pipes Yourself - Chemical Agent Soaking Cleaning
Chemical agent soaking cleaning. This cleaning method can fully dissolve the sludge attached to the pipe walls. The raw materials used will not corrode the underfloor heating pipes and clean them thoroughly. The cleaning process is as follows: Open the underfloor heating hot water inlet pipe; inject the diluted underfloor heating cleaning solution into the hot water inlet pipe; ensure that the underfloor heating pipes are full of water, close the cold water valve, and start the circulation pump for 30 minutes; open the cold water valve and drain the turbid water; rinse the underfloor heating pipes with clean water until clean water flows out of the outlet pipe, and the cleaning work is complete.
Because the filter at the front of the manifold can only prevent large particles of pollutants from entering the pipeline system, it cannot filter scale, sludge, rust, and algae. The dirt in the underfloor heating pipes should be removed in time. Therefore, the fundamental solution to the problem of scaling in the underfloor heating pipeline is to regularly clean the underfloor heating pipeline. Normally, water underfloor heating systems should be cleaned and maintained regularly after more than two years of use.
