Hi Guys

We recently took our radiators off the walls so we could paint, do up the bathrooms and do general renovations (including moving some radiators around) - and have now noticed that the water in the radiator pipes is very dirty. (the system stood open for 2 months which likely was not the best idea as rust seems to have formed)

I purchased some Fernox F3 to run a clean, and once clean - add in some F1 inhibitor.

In bold, the bottle says "Not for use in a Single-Feed Indirect Cylinder". From what im reading, I dont think I have one - but if you guys could perhaps confirm, it would be hugely appreciated. Images of my heating (it supplies hot water too)

Thanks in advance, and have an awesome day further!

That's a expansion vessel above your boiler so it's a sealed system.
Your cylinder will be indirect NOT single feed.
You could useful fit a system filter on boiler return will help clean it up and create a easy way of putting chemicals in.
