I know next to nothing about boilers, radiators or heating systems. I am trying to adjust mine so that it will stop putting out the smells that it does.
I was told that my Radiators are 'self contained' and that they do not need flushing. But they put out different smells, like a chemical smell and etc. The only ones that don't do this are the bathroom and the kitchen radiators.
What I was wondering is this... if I bleed the radiators and then repressurisze them a couple of times, would this help any towards gettin the toxic type of water out of them and adding fresh new water that would bring the smells down? I ask this because I have actually tried this with one round of it, at least and it seems to have reduced the smells that I get in the living room when I wake up and during the day. Or would it be futile because there is too much water in the radiators and would take me the next hundred years or so of doing this, to make any difference?
I did notice also that I smelled the same smell a little bit both in the hallway and in the kitchen by the boiler as I do in the living room, after bleeding the radiator a few times, but then it went away, except for in the living room but now the smell is fainter, diminished somewhat.
