Hi all,
I have a old conventional boiler system (maybe 20yrs+) Stelrad Mexico slimline. I know there is some amount of sludge in the system and I plan to get a new system installed maybe next year as recently bought this place so shortage of funds. This is a 2 bderoom ground floor flat with 5 rads of different sizes. Recently installed a brand new stelrad double panel single convector rad 600mm x 2000mm (the biggest in flat) and even that is comparatively warmer on top.
The current system takes more than normal time for all rads to heat and all rads are warmer on top. People have suggested a superflush on the system but also said that since I plan to get a new system in a year or so, it no point spending as it will be done again when putting in a new system.
I am contemplating fitting in a magnaclean system to catch the sludge, which can hopefully be also refitted into the new system whenver that happens. Do you experienced ones think that this is the right way to go about it or would I be better off doing a superflush now.
Pls do ask if any more details are needed to give a well informed reply
Thanks in advance.
