Rule Zero
Hello.
I had a major boiler repair at Xmas and the engineers had to drain and re-fill the central heating system during the repair, they used Fernox when they re-filled it.
About a month later, the smell from the central heating header tank had become overpoweringly awful, like rotten eggs. The tank is in the top of an airing cupboard in a bedroom, as there is no loft.
So, I drained the system down completely, let clean water flush it through for a bit, then let it re-fill with clean water and added a bottle of Sentinel X100 and X200.
Now, nearly a month later and the smell is returning, the water in the tank seems quite slimey also. All rather unpleasant.
Any ideas why this is happening and what I can do to fix it? It is going to get very expensive and inconvenient to have to re-fill all the water and Sentinel each month.
Many thanks
Lisa
