-All systems containing metals such as steel, brass, copper etc. corrode. Low levels of corrosion in itself are not a problem. It only becomes a problem if there is continued or accelerated corrosion. There are a number of possible causes for continued or accelerated corrosion rates. Uniform corrosion, which is by far the most common form in non-chemically treated heating systems, can only occur in the presence of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen|oxygen]]. Simplified it can be said that the more oxygen is present in the system the higher the rate of corrosion.\\

 <wrap em>Without oxygen, corrosion will stop.</wrap> Therefore it is vital to prevent oxygen from entering the system.\\
 There are a number of ways oxygen can enter a system:
