Hi,
I'm looking for some advice on cleaning the microbore pipes in my house due to a suspected blockage. Some might already know, that the Diverter valve on my potterton performa 28i changed out (twice). Since then the system hasn't worked properly.
Essentially only 50% of the radiators heat fully (Upstairs). When closing those rads, the downstairs work again.
I am wanting to use an agent to remove any debris / sludge in the system. I have had Sentinel 800x recommended to me, but this appears to be used for Power flush set ups, which I am not wanting to try just yet due to the age of the pipes. (Radiators are new (3 years)). So what is the best to put in the radiators which will not eat my boiler too?
Can I use a Citric acid based agent? or can i just pour in the Sentinel 800x?
And finally (maybe a dumb question), if i open the drain to the boiler (Hose attached) whilst at the same time opening the fill to the system. Would the fresh water travel around the system before going out through the hose? Almost acting like a flush (all be it not a very good one).
As ever, thanks in advance
