COMMERCIAL PLUMBING & HEATING
DISTRIBUTOR – C&F QUADRANT
BSP APPOINT NEW FILTER POT AGENT AND DISTRIBUTION PARTNERS… BSP appoints C&F Quadrant as new NI distribution partner
B SP through their official NI/ROI agent Warren Smyth of AVODA Agencies has appointed C & F Quadrant, Belfast as its new distribution partners for the NI region. Currently, with ever-increasing costs and the need to combat climate change, the commercial heating industry looks closer at itself by raising system efficiencies to off-set the pressures being forced upon it by rising fuel costs and legislation. As technology advances with boiler and pump motor efficiencies improving yearly, water cleanliness is paramount to maintaining these ever-increasing regulatory efficiencies. The Building Services Research and Information Association ‘BSRIA’ regularly update the Industry Standards for the treatment of water in Closed Heating and Cooling Systems. The latest release of the BSRIA Standards (BG 29/2020 & BG50/2021) highlight the need to maintain the system water to an exceptionally high standard of cleanliness resulting in retaining the high efficiencies produced by the boilers and chillers. BSRIA’s latest Standards show a clear shift in traditional water treatment and filtration. Previously, for example when sludge, dirt and system debris blocked pipework and radiators etc, this has a clear impact on the efficiencies. The common remedy for these issues was to install an in-line magnetic filter to remove these foreign objects. Not anymore. OUT WITH THE OLD… BSRIA’s latest target for dirt particle removal has been reduced to 0.5micron (1/2000th mm). Magnetite has an average particle size of 8micron, which is too small to be captured by conventional filter technology, which is currently in-line magnet filtration. Indeed, BSRIA confirm, magnetic filtration isn’t the preferred choice for commercial systems anymore and should be confined to domestic systems only.

…AND IN WITH THE NEW The latest BSRIA BG 29/2020 – Section 2.3.8 – Side-stream filtration / separation; States, “Side-stream filtration is suitable for most systems and strongly recommended for systems over 2,500 litres.” Belfast born MD of BSP, Richard Cowley explains, “It is critical the internals of a heating system remain clean and open to allow un-suffocated flow around the pipework. The only product solution to comply with these new BSRIA Standards is the BSP Filter Pot Side Stream Filter and Dosing Unit, available from C&F Quadrant.” To meet these new exacting BSRIA Standards, the Filter Pot employs several features to remove dirt but also micro- bubbles from the system. It’s simple technology but now cleverly supercharged. The Filter Pots’ twin filtration chamber contains Magnetic Filtration followed by an industry first ultra-fine 0.5micron Anti-Microbial Cartridge Filter capable of capturing and neutralising microscopic bacteria, complying with these new BSRIA Standards entirely.
