Flushing systems

[JAH HEATING]

What method do you use ?

Am on an old y plan system, 3 old rads in system.


Replacing 2 rads.


On this job I threw some cleaner in f an e for a week, left heating on.


Tomorrow I'm going to flush each rad one by one with the mains on, then throw some x400 in an leave in for a few hours, drop it an refill with 100.

Just hope that the cleaner is not just sitting in the tank ! you need to make sure that it is in the system, did you drain out then refill adding the cleaner ? how dirty was the heating water ? is the system being used each day ? so that the cleaner is pumped around the system. Have you advised that a filter is fitted on the system ?

with all the effort your going to your probably better to just stick the powerflush pump on it and do it 100% correct.
