Hello All,
First time poster - really hoping to get some pointers of what to do next with this problem.
The problem started when we did our bathroom and installed a new towel rail.
I found I was having to bleed the highest radiator in the house every few days - working fine and still hot but the bubbling noise was really annoying.
Long story short I eventually established this was hydrogen by lighting the gas as I bled it!
I know there was no inhibitor in the system so some Fernox F1 was added after leaving F3 cleaner in the system for a week. The engineer said the water actually looked pretty clean when it was removed.
Anyhow this was 3 weeks ago and it has not helped. Gas is still gathering in the radiator at the same pace.
The other radiators in the house are about 17 years old. Some have some minor corrosion / paint flaking but looks to be on the outside (if its possible to tell??)
Been advised to try replacing them which am happy to do but obviously want to be reasonably sure that will solve the problem.
Any ideas / guidance would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
