Thanks again Armo74, one last question...When re filling a drained system is there a correct order in which i should be bleeding the rads to avoid air locks? I.e. top floor first then bottom floor? or does it not matter? Apologies for being a bit thick but what does the magnet do to tell you...

Thanks, but at 600 quid its not an option right now unfortunately. We have just had a new pump fitted last week so it should get the x800 flowing through the system sufficiently.

Thanks Armo74, Is it worth trying to drain it off through drain off valve first? I'm reluctant to take the rads off as they are pretty old and not sure how good the seal will be when i try put them in again. I will be draining the whole system to flush out the x800 and then refilling with...

Hello, I recently drain my CH system via a drain off situated outside the kitchen. Before draining i cleared the header tank of muck,it was completely brown in color with at least a cm of sediment at the bottom, I will try post a pic soon. I then drained the system and opened the bleed...

Thanks again. Dont think i can be bothered with clearing each rad...14 of them!!!

Got you...The kitchen is an extension to a 1930s property, The floor is concreted with vinyl on top. the draincocks are about 0.5m away from the kitchen rad, so I don't think there are any stop valves as it is all concreted over.. Thanks for the help.

oh and it wasn't 500 they wanted off us...it was 600 for a powerflush. :oops:

Thanks. EON. They have been good for many years at our old property... but to be fair our system in our new place is ancient and i don't think it has ever been flushed or had inhibitor in. Insurers don't like the "one of my rads are cold" as a legitimate problem with the system I think. Is...

Sorry Tipper, didnt realise you posted the last comment... so thanks to you too. :lol:

Brilliant thanks. Ha ha...yes, written in big capital letters on the inspection report after fitting a new pump. And noted re the re washering...Can i get new ones from wickes/screwfix? Im never sure of the size. Last couple of questions, sorry... Is this a normal set up, no drain...

Footprints...Brilliant. Thanks for your quick response. When you say check the level do you mean in the header tank in the loft? Will it matter what order I do it? And should I close the one after it stops before doing the other? Will i need to open the vents upstairs to fully drain the...

Hello, I need to drain our CH system to flush with sentinel X800. We have only recently moved in the property and thought finding the lowest drain valve on one of the rads would be easy...turns out not. There was not a single drain valve on the whole system, not even near the boiler...
