Ive flushed my central heating system today, used fernox......after 7 years, just as a precaution, water was clear yellowish, after filling the system, still came a clear yellowish colour, when i say yellow ish i mean very pale yellow.
Had a new extension a couple of years ago, and 2 pipes coming from upstairs to the downstairs radiator where sent to the new radiator in the new extension, only thing was the plumber used reducers.... 15mm to 10mm,hid pipes behind wall and into the new radiator, reducers used both ends...... That new radiator always seems warm at the bottom, but red hot at the top...... Is it because of the reduced 10mm to that radiator?
Boiler is a Worcester, i have 10 radiators, in the house, all radiators are double, around 3-4 feet long,and a towel radiator..... If that makes a difference,....... Someone said to me, they need balancing????.... Ive tried that but still seems same
If i turn upstairs radiator completely off via thermostat, which is directly above the radiator in question, then the radiator in question, does get a little better.
