I had the boiler replaced with a combi 8 months ago. Since then on three occasions I have had to bleed three different upstairs radiators, the latest one being yesterday.
The installer used an inhibitor called Tradesales and not the normal recommended brands. The instructions say suitable for up to 10 radiators but I have 12 so thinking that it might be under strength I placed a nail on the magnet of the magnaclean and left it for 3 weeks. The nail came out rust free so I am wondering whether this is just trapped air that has been in the system since the install.
Should I play safe and add a brand name?
Can I safely mix brands?
Can I overdose the rads on inhibitor?
