Hi,
Is it ok to fill a sealed central heating system with softened water?
I installed a Harveys water softener a month ago. Today I replaced 2 radiators where I needed to drain the system.
Using softened water in a combi boiler for hot water now seems ok to do so. The advice has changed over the years.
After searching the net, it seems using softener in central heating systems is not recommended as this may cause pin prick leaks overtime. But again advice is quite mixed.
I filled my CH wit softener water today but it has only just occurred to me this might not be wise. Should I drain and fill again with hard water?
thanks
Adam
