Hello bengasman, according to the info on sentinel's website, X800 is for powerflushing. I have got three quotes from three different plumbers for the powerflushing and they have all said that because my system is gravity open-vented it is possible that with powerflushing some of the joints in...

bengasman - now that you've got me on the chemicals avenue, i have had a look at sentinels website and based on their product description, my plan of action would be to first add the x300 system cleanser, run the pump on full blast for a couple of hours then drain the system completely.
