Hello, winter is coming, central heating still not working and so its time to my thread that I started last year.
//www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=154465
Still only 4 of the 9 rads get hot/warm. So the problem is the same as I left it, however I am now doing some decorating and all of the 5 offending radiatiors are coming out so I can paint behind them. I have already flushed out 2 in the garden using a pressure washer and put them back on and filled them , but NOT opened the valves. I am waiting until I have done the other cold rads before I open them all up. BTW I am checking that water comes through the valves when the rads are off so I know the pipes arent blocked.
Now the questions is, by flushing each rad out individually , will this be as good as doing a powerflush?
Also my pump is noisy.
