I am going to de-sludge today!

Is right that I should tie up the ball-cock in my F&E tank drain a litre of water from the system and then add X400?

Any help with this gratefully received as I am on the way to B&Q.
 
You need to drain all of the water from the tank, add the Xwhatever add a litre or two of water, then drain the tank again, using a drain point as far away from the tank as possible. (There are other ways as well). then fill the tank up and run it for a couple of weeks before you drain it completely and refill.

Alternatively you could try reading the instructions on the bottle.
 
X400 ones are inadequate, it takes SEVERAL WEEKS to do its stuff.
