The Calmag CalRad 125ml Electric Towel Radiator Protector is an inhibitor developed specifically for water-filled electric towel radiators. It gives long-term protection against corrosion and limescale in a part of the system that is easily overlooked, and it prevents hydrogen gassing.
One 125ml bottle protects up to 12 litres when dosed at 1%. CalRad is suitable for all metals, non-toxic and biodegradable, and Calmag’s patented Uni-Dose adaptors let you apply it through the bleed screw or directly through the radiator, so it works for new installs, indirect heating systems and retro-fitted application on existing radiators.

Uni-Dose
Adaptors for easy dosing
Top up or retro-fit in minutes
CalRad can be added to an existing towel radiator or used to top up inhibitor within an indirect heating system, using the Uni-Dose applicators through the bleed screw or direct through the radiator.
Dosing note
Dose at 1% of the water volume. One 125ml bottle covers up to 12 litres, so larger water volumes need proportionally more product. CalRad is intended for water-filled electric towel radiators.
Electrical safety
Isolate the electrical supply to the radiator element before opening the bleed screw or dosing, and have any electrical work carried out by a competent person in line with BS 7671.
Key features
Made for electric towel radiators
Specifically developed for water-filled electric towel radiators, where cold spots from corrosion and limescale can quietly reduce heat output.
Stops hydrogen gassing
Formulated to prevent hydrogen gassing, a common by-product of corrosion in towel radiators.
Corrosion and limescale protection
Protects against corrosion and limescale with a long-life treatment for lasting protection.
Suitable for all metals
Safe for use with all metals commonly found in radiators and heating systems.
Patented Uni-Dose adaptors
Apply quickly through the bleed screw or directly through the radiator with Calmag’s Uni-Dose applicators.
Non-toxic and biodegradable
A non-toxic, biodegradable 125ml concentrate that protects up to 12 litres at a 1% dose.

Frequently asked questions
What is CalRad used for?
CalRad is an inhibitor for water-filled electric towel radiators. It protects against corrosion, limescale and hydrogen gassing so the radiator keeps heating evenly.
How much does one bottle treat?
One 125ml bottle protects up to 12 litres of water when dosed at 1%. This is suited to a typical towel radiator; larger volumes need more product.
How do I add CalRad?
Use the patented Uni-Dose adaptors to dose through the radiator bleed screw or directly through the radiator. Isolate the electrical supply first.
Can I add it to an existing radiator?
Yes. CalRad supports retro application on existing radiators and can top up inhibitor within an indirect heating system as well as protect new installations.
Is it safe for all radiator materials?
CalRad is suitable for all metals and is non-toxic and biodegradable.
