Hello everyone,
I have one main question. And I have extra details below if anyone wants more information.
Is a drained down, empty CH system more corrosive to the insides of the pipes, rads, boiler, etc, than a system that's full of water?
I haven't been able to as yet get a new boiler installed. The boiler I have is a 26 year old Maxol. And there's a small tank in the loft. If the boiler breaks down, and it's too expensive to fix, and if I then drain down the system to avoid the pipes bursting, how long can I allow the system to be empty of water before it needs to be filled again? Or should I do the refill once the winter has passed?
It maybe some time before I get another heating system installed.
I'll appreciate all answers given.
Thank you
Paul
