Energy Saver F6 www.fernox.com Questions and answers What is Energy Saver F6? Fernox Central Heating Energy Saver F6 is an innovative new chemical water treatment product. Independently tested, Energy Saver F6 has been developed to improve heat transfer efficiency and contribute to lower energy usage within traditional central heating systems. Is it available in other formats such as Superconcentrate gels or aerosols? The Energy Saver F6 is currently available as a 500 ml liquid product only. Does it differ from a renewable heat transfer fluid such as Solar S1, or the HP range? If so, how does it differ? Energy saver is a 500 ml additive product which treats 100 litre system. It is specifically designed to improve the efficiency of heating systems and does NOT provide antifreeze and system protection like Solar S1 or HP Heat Transfer products. How does Energy Saver F6 work? The performance improvement arises as a result of laying down long chain molecules within the heating system. This has a dual effect of reducing the size of nucleated boiling bubbles that form on the heat exchanger (which add an additional insulation layer to the heat exchanger surface) and smoothing the internal flow surfaces of the heating system, thereby reducing drag.

Questions and answers
What is Energy Saver F6? Fernox Central Heating Energy Saver F6 is an innovative new chemical water treatment product. Independently tested, Energy Saver F6 has been developed to improve heat transfer efficiency and contribute to lower energy usage within traditional central heating systems.
Is it available in other formats such as Superconcentrate gels or aerosols? The Energy Saver F6 is currently available as a 500 ml liquid product only.
Does it differ from a renewable heat transfer fluid such as Solar S1, or the HP range? If so, how does it differ? Energy saver is a 500 ml additive product which treats 100 litre system. It is specifically designed to improve the efficiency of heating systems and does NOT provide antifreeze and system protection like Solar S1 or HP Heat Transfer products.
How does Energy Saver F6 work?The performance improvement arises as a result of laying down long chain molecules within the heating system. This has a dual effect of reducing the size of nucleated boiling bubbles that form on the heat exchanger (which add an additional insulation layer to the heat exchanger surface) and smoothing the internal flow surfaces of the heating system, thereby reducing drag.
Do I need to use an inhibitor with Energy Saver F6?Yes, a Fernox Protector F1 should be used with the Energy Saver F6 as the product is not designed for system protection.
What differentiates it from other products on the market?As Energy Saver F6 is a pioneering product there are no comparable products.
How much fuel consumption is likely to be saved over the course of a year? Energy Saver F6 can save up to 1.2% of energy consumption on a scaled boiler and 0.8% on an un-scaled boiler.
What is the pay back period if Energy Saver F6 is used in the system? For a typical household the payback period could be one year.
What does this saving equate to at today’s energy prices?The energy consumption savings equate to £14.18 saving per annum for a scaled boiler and £9.45 per annum for an un-scaled boiler, based on typical energy consumption figures1 and typical unit gas price of 7.16p/kWh.
Can Energy Saver F6 be left in the system permanently?Yes, the product is designed to be left in the system.
Does Energy Saver F6 need to be topped up annually to maintain the fuel saving?It is advisable to top up the system annually if the system has been drained or has required topping up in the last twelve months.
Is it possible to overdose the system with Energy Saver F6?No.
Is Energy Saver F6 a non hazardous product and is it as environmentally friendly as other products in the ‘F’ range?Yes, it is phosphate, nitrate/nitrite and EDTA free and has a non hazardous classification.
What size of system does Energy Saver F6 treat?100 litre system or up to 10 single panel radiators.
Is it compatible with all metals and materials commonly found in central heating systems including aluminium?Yes, as with all Fernox products Energy Saver F6 is suitable for use with all makes and brands of boiler.
