Need info on old boiler and advice

[johnjones323]

Thanks Mickyg,

Can you explain how I get the chemical in the system? Do I add into the radiator header tank, drain some radiators to make sure the chemical gets into the system?

Also what chemical do you recommend? does the chemical stay in for good or should I drain after some time?

 

[mickyg]

basically yes. drain a good amount of water out of the system. add chemical and refill.
I would firstly add Sentinel X200 and X400. Leave in for about 8 weeks.
Then drain and let it flush through. Refill with X100.
Then find someone local who's happy servicing older boilers.

you prob won't completely cure the noise, but you should do enough to improve it and at least prevent it getting much worse.

I see them on screwfix and will order tomorow, Is 1 ltr of each enough or do I need more?

 

[mickyg]

1ltr of each will be fine.

Can you get anything for an irritating customer, where do I put the x200, in the mouth, nose, ears, free advice only please

I would never mix two treatments!

X800 for sludge needs four HOURS unlike X400 which takes four WEEKS!

Then drain and refill and then add X200. That can be left in the system and an X100 added later.
