This is a probably a silly question .....
Moved into house and no instructions on how to operate boiler (Worcester green star utility 32/50 oil boiler). Some of the radiators in house are hot at top but only like warm or cold at bottom, so I suspected sludge buildup. The pipes can also be quite noisy in areas (clicking) and I'm sure I can hear tricking water in some parts (no leaks).
I've bled some of the radiators and the water coming out is fairly clear (would of expected black if sludge?).
My next thought was drain the system take a few radiators out and hose them through to see what they are like (will need to YouTube how to do this). My question is how do I top up the system with water after ? And where would I put an inhibitor into system ?
My old house had a much smaller boiler (combo boiler) and whenever I bled radiator and needed to top up pressure I just turned a knob on braided wire under boiler until it got to 1 bar (or red needle)
Any advice how to do this or if I am barking up wrong tree would be helpful
Thanks
