Hi guys.
So, i've got a couple of sludgy radiators that im going to remove this weekend in order to clean and just have a couple of questions. I guess its worth mentioning that this is for a combi boiler so i guess its what they call a sealed system.
1) When taking the rads off, is it best to take the rads of the pipes or disconnect on the rad side if you see what i mean.
2) Do you think a garden hose will be sufficient to flush out the radiator itself or do you need a pressure washer type thing?
I think that i also have a small leak somewhere in the system as the pressure gauge drops over a couple of week period. I've read that you can splat some 'sealer' stuff in to the system to sort out any small leaks. my question is once this does its job should i also then add some inhibitor or does this stuff also contain inhibitor.
Thanks in advance
Pete
