Update: Draining a bucketful had the expected effect on the F+E tank (phew). Now a new dose of x400 in doing its stuff. Everything disconcertingly quiet. Once flushed I have in mind an x200/x100 combi. The drained water was similar to that in the tank - a decidedly brown cast to it, so I...

The bleed water isn't 100% clear - there is a definite rusty tinge to it that might, in...

Oh, cool. I'll do that then. I suspect quite a bit of the original dose may have disappeared out of the overflow while it was blocked anyway. Sadly, turning the pump down did eventually lead to a downstairs rad going cold. Pity - the system was noticeably quieter. edit: oops. forgot the...
