Central heating inhibitor with ASHPs
I've just realised with all the reading and research I've been doing about ASHP, I've never seen mention of central heating inhibitor?
I have read with interest the recent recommendations of not using glycol and fitting anti-freeze valves instead but in this case would you then need normal central heating inhibitor or is there some other additive needed more specific to ASHP units?
