I've had plenty of problems with the heating/boiler since buying this house earlier this year. At one point part of the pipe work was completely solid with sediment. The gas engineer found it and cleared it, but I'm sure plenty more lurks in the system.
My plan is;
Shut off water to F&E tank
Fully open all rad valves
Connect hose pipe to lowest drain off point and open
Let the system completely drain down and close drain off point
Clean F&E tank
Fill F&E tank with Sentinel X800 and turn water back on
*Do I need to run the heating at this point*
Leave in system for a couple of hours
Open drain off valve again and just let the system refill and flush through until water is clean then close drain off valve
Add Sentinel X400
Leave for a couple of weeks until I need to take rads off to fit skirting boards
Then after that couple of weeks repeat emptying mode, take off rads, hose them out, refill system with X100.
Does this sound ok? Have I missed anything? And do I need to run the X800 with the heating on?
Thanks very much
