Hello,
our screed is in and was heated with a separate device (MobiHeat) because the heating system is not yet installed. The usual issue of residual moisture worries me less at the moment than the fact that many pipes have taken on an orange coloration. You can see a film on the pipes in the floor distributor. The heating process is finished and the water has already been drained again. In the picture, you can see the contents of the tray that was placed underneath to drain the water. It was left there as a precaution in case a few drops still came out. You can see small particles and the orange coloration in it. There is no noticeable smell.
The technician said he had never seen anything like this before. He suspects that the municipal utility flushed somewhere when he took the water. The circuit was filled directly; no treatment took place. According to the technician, the impurities are not a problem because they are removed when filling (flushing).
I have no idea what this is and am considering sending the water to a laboratory. Since it resembles rust, I would suspect iron, but what else is possible and what effects does it have?
I believe a magnetic filter will be installed. This would get clogged, but that would be controllable. The valves can get clogged, but they can be replaced. That is not possible with the heating pipes in the floor. The efficiency of the pipes presumably decreases, or do rust particles have a high thermal conductivity?
If it is something "biological," then I fear we will have to flush every few years and it will always break out again afterwards.
