Just one question more on this topic. If I add sentinel to clear/remove the sludge build up might it come straight out of the vent pipe?

Thanks John D for your detailed explanation. Off to the plumbers merchant in the morning to get some sentinel x400

Hi, Can anyone help, the vent pipe above my f & e tank is letting boiling water into the f&e tank and oveflowing at a high rate. As a matter of course I have changed the p2 float valve to no avail. as soon as the c/h is switched on the water commeth. This does not happen when the h/w is on and...

Surley these legs should go all the way in as the weight of the water will force the...

Yep, a cheapn B&Q job
