Hi
Apologies for any misunderstandings: very little plumbing experience. I recently had my first service in my first home. The boiler is a 16 year old Worcester. The British Gas engineer who came out for its first service since I bought the house removed a lot of gunk from inside it. He suggested adding an inhibitor (Furnox F1) which he would come back and put into a radiator for £42 as the water inside the system looked a bit dark/smelly and had some bits in it.
I asked if it required any other follow up like a power flush or a filter installing to which he said no there's no need. Should I get a second opinion?
On the feedback sheet there is a box that says "magnetic system filter checked" to which he put no but ticked "advice given". I'm just wondering if the advice of not needing one is valid or if he was in a rush to get away?
Many thanks
