Hi
I have a problem with 3 cold downstairs rads. Have used Sentinal x800 to no avail. Had the affected rads off and flushed to no avail. Had plumber take a look who says we have problems with the plastic microbore being blocked somewhere on the downstairs return and suggested having it re-plumbed. The affected pipes are behind the wall. The system has not been power flushed.
There is occasional Luke warm heat to the rads but this is sporadic.
Would it be worth trying fernox ds40 and then flushing the system before all the Argo of a re-fit?
If so any tips on using the stuff, eg. how long to leave in the system etc. (I was thinking approx. a week)
I can use an upstairs towel rad to get it into the system, and hire a power flush to clean out afterwards but any advice or do's and especially don'ts would be very welcome.
Or is this a job for a pro?
I am on a limited budget after being laid off so could do without too much expense!!!
