With poor water quality a common cause of central heating breakdowns, in the summer Adey launched what it describes as “a next generation water testing kit which provides lab-style reporting and interpretation instantly to a smartphone”. The ProCheck test kit and app use technology that enables installers to show homeowners results immediately, indicating whether further action is required or providing reassurance that the system water has been treated and the system is healthy. ADEY believes this benefits the installer by reducing the need for a second visit as any quality issues that are identified can be dealt with there and then.
Helen Isherwood, Innovations Director at ADEY, said: “Using a laboratory requires the test to be posted and for the installer to wait for results before returning to take remedial action. Not only does ProCheck provide an instant result for three main areas of testing, it ensures a level of accuracy that’s previously not been possible in the field.”
