The 500 ml bottle dilutes to serve a 3 - 4 bedroom house and a capacity of 100 litres. Fernox's site doesn`t mention the number of radiators but I believe my last bottle said 8 - 10 radiators ??? I also understand that a Double panel radiator counts as TWO radiators.... so buying two bottles would be best, a worthy product. Try the few nails in jam jar of tap water and few nails in jar of system's diluted mixture (catch some as you bleed your rads) and note the results after a few days, the Fernox ones will be shiny still, the others' rusted. This will also re-assure you that you have a strong enough mix for your sized system...... . Repeat test annually and just top up with new once mix starts to shows discoloured nails. Simple, easy, re-assuring and cheap. Bottom line, Fernox F! is a GREAT product and one that I credit with keeping my previous boiler running for some 30 years with the ONLY repair being a replacement pump. Hope this helps. **Q: how to add it to the heating** A: Check out the U Tube videos on how to add Fernox F1. Very easy via a heated towel rail. **Q: Is this the new or the old formula, how many litres will it treat 100ltrs or 130ltrs ?** A: This is the new formula & will cover a system up to 100L typically a 3-4 bedroom house **Q: Label say expiry date ? Or manufacture date ?** A: The label displays the manufacture date. The shelf life is 5 years. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very effective *by P***J on 23 May 2026* We have our boiler serviced every year and it's very effective, keeps our system beautifully clean.
