Hi,
I've spent FAR too much time messing with the 22 radiators in my house over the last five years. Some are hot some are cold.. I have seriously struggled to balance it all up.
Can't believe I've only just found out that you can keep all lock shields fully open and balance with the Drayton Presetting Key.

Has anyone used this method?
My house is a shambles.. it's been extended and messed about with no end. I can "empty" the system and change TRV's downstairs then do some upstairs to find they are full of water still?!?!
I'm keen to try this method.. if I can work out the direction of flow from the boiler. I think we have three different loops up and down. OMG.
Also does anyone know any stores where this tool can be purchased from? It's an absolute rip off for a bit of plastic so I don't want to have to pay delivery too.
