Hi,
My heating system wont empty or fill.
My heating has been acting up and it was suggested it might be a sludge build up.
I bought some de-sludge stuff Sentinal X400 and started to drain the radiators down. Water came out of the hose and the radiators gurgled ect until it stopped.
I opened up the bleed screws on the upstairs radiators and a little more came out of the hose. I went to bleed the downstairs rads and some still have water coming out the bleed screw even though there is no more water coming out of the drain pipe!
I went into the loft and the header tank is still full. I tried plunging the header tank where the water goes through the bottom but nothing it still full.
I've had to stop for the evening with empty radiators and use the immersion heater for hot water.
If I can't get the header tank to empty I'm stuck with some empty rads and some full! Just to confirm the mains water was off while I was doing this.
I would be grateful for any help please
