can anyone help; I need to find the recommended maximum level of Cu and Fe permissable in circulating water systems for commercial heating. I know this is a sign of corrosion and I have had the water tested and these readings are noted as 'high' but I don't know what the recommendations are. If anyone has copy of relevant page from British Standards perhaps they could up load so that I can print it off

copper and iron levels in water systems

It will depend on the heater that you have. You would have to get that information from the supplier of the heater.
However, if you have a low pressure boiler, there really should not be a concern. The suspended solids concentration may be several hundred parts per million in a low pressure boiler.
In addition, since there is little to no oxygen in the heating system, the ongoing corrosion is nil.
