George Nelson Plumbing & Heating – based in Belfast – has been a loyal Sentinel installer for more than 15 years! As with many companies in the sector, George himself was raised through the ranks using Sentinel X100 Inhibitor and X400 System Restorer, more recently X800 JetFlo Ultimate Cleaner and several other Sentinel water treatment products. Why? Because he was always told to use quality products to keep heating systems running smoothly – and, importantly, to ensure there were no call backs to fix faulty systems after the installation work was completed.
"That's pretty much it," agrees George. "When you use a good quality product for many years and it doesn’t let you down, you stick with it. The cost of water treatment isn’t exactly outrageous, so why save five or six pounds on inferior water treatment when you may get yourself problems from doing so? It doesn’t make sense to me. All the boiler manufacturers I respect say use a good quality water treatment product and mention Sentinel by name. They know what they’re doing and what will keep their boilers operating efficiently – and I agree with them!"
'I wouldn't use any other filter now'
So when Sentinel launched its exciting new central heating system filter, the Sentinel Eliminator®, with its unique Quadra-Cyclone® Technology to remove both magnetic and non-magnetic debris from a system, George was one of the first into his local merchant branch to give it a go.
"It’s got the Sentinel name on it and I spoke to John Lynch at Sentinel who I’ve known for several years and asked him what was special about the Eliminator. He took me through it and showed me one and I decided to give it a go. That was more than fifty Eliminators ago," says George. "And frankly I wouldn’t use any other filter now. It does exactly what it says on the tin! It removes all the circulating debris left in the system after correctly flushing and inhibiting a system. They’re easy to fit – they don’t leak and I’ve had no call backs to any installation where I’ve used one. That’s good enough for me!"
