I'm planning on doing some stuff to the house I've not long since moved in to, none of the radiators have TRVs so I've got a load of them and new lockshields, and also bought a Magnaclean chemical pack which came with cleaner and inhibitor. While I'm messing about fitting TRVs I intend to take the rads outside and give them a good cleaning out as well.
What should I do first? Add the cleaner and run system, drain down and fit Magnaclean and TRVs and then fill up and add inhibitor? Or should I run the cleaner through, fit the Magnaclean, let it do its thing for a bit, then drain down again and fit the TRVs, before refilling and adding inhibitor?
It's an open vented system fitted 1997 with a HRM Wallstar boiler, I've no idea if/when it was last drained down or flushed. I'm hoping to get it running a bit more efficiently ready for the winter.
