HOW DO I WORK OUT HOW MANY LITRES ARE IN MY SYSTEM?

bimbo117 · 26 Mar 2004

Last year loads of you helped me out and i'm asking for your help again!

My open vented 5 radiator central heating system is suffering from sludge...apparently!

I am ready to have a go at cleansing it, flushing through and then refilling it with new water & inhibitor but the instructions on the bottles require me to know how many litres there are in the system.

Does this have to be really accurate or can I guesstimate it? Is there a way of working it out?

Thank you in advance if you can help me!

It's only to make sure you have enough chemical, particularly for the inhibitor. So if you overdose it is better than underdosing. You can get capacity figures from the radiator manufacturers sites, but if you assume yours is 100 litres altogether, it should be ok. (My opinion)
