Dear all,
I am constantly bleeding one radiator in a top bedroom, black sludge comes out and the gas is hydrogen, proven by a lighted match. I am also getting a small amount of gas in a second bedroom. The rads are cast iron and need replacing soon, but I also need to add inhibitor. I am not sure how the central heating system is laid out. My dilemma is, I am not sure what to do first. I am not sure if the corrosion is related to just the one rad or all over? I dont think I can afford to replace them all in one go.
Also how can I tell what radiotor is first to heat on the system. Tried testing with hand, they all seem to get hot quite quickly
