Product placementFurther information at the end of the article.

In this episode we talk about how correct make-up water (top-up) protects heating systems from long-term damage.

We cover:

  • Why topping up is not just routine but a critical intervention in system quality, with risks such as corrosion and deposits.
  • The four essential steps: 1) Regularly check water quality, 2) Select the make-up system suited to the installation, 3) Ensure standard-compliant make-up, 4) Document volume and quality of water added.
  • How modern make-up systems (e.g., cloud-connected, leak-protection, automatic documentation) boost efficiency and operational reliability.
  • Why proper make-up is a worthwhile investment in system longevity, warranty security and lower operating costs.
