Hello,
my heating system has been running for just over a year now. By chance, I recently noticed discoloration on the flow meters, see picture.
I filed a defect report with the general contractor, stating that the heating water appears rusty/sludgy, as evidenced by the flow meters. Their response was a casual statement that some discoloration on the flow meters is normal to a certain extent and that if there is a serious malfunction of the underfloor heating, it will of course be fixed.
Do your flow meters look like this as well?

1. is not mandatory according to generally accepted technical rules.
2. is mandatory according to generally accepted technical rules.
3. possible but not considered a defect.
4. possible.
Even though the systems are often filled with regular water, they are usually softened using cartridges.
However, it is often just the expansion vessel (membrane expansion tank) that is the culprit.

It’s the same for us, and the heating engineer is making excuses.
@hstkai: What did you do back then? We are currently very confused; our house is only two years old.

cinderella2126 Jan 2019 17:20We are now going to have a water analysis done as well.
I find it strange that neither a magnetic sludge separator nor a microbubble separator was installed in our system.
And I wonder why a standard steel towel radiator was installed along with regular carbon steel pipes from the manifold of the underfloor heating system upstairs to the towel radiator in the bathroom. Is this poor workmanship?

cinderella2126 Jan 2019 17:46@hstkai Did your pipes sustain any damage from that? Or did everything remain intact? We are just worried that all the pipes might start rusting inside, or that the entire system could be damaged.
Is your heating water clear now?
Thanks for the help!
