I have recently found red/brown sludge in my grundfos pump. Which I replaced and now works silently.

I was concerned that my Honeywell Y plan 3 pos diverter would be affected as I wasn't sure that I shouldn't see movement in it's switch from auto to manual/open. I have been told this is normal.

The diverter makes a few clicks now and again when I turn the heating on and my central appears to be working fine. I am paranoid though about this red/brown sludge!!

Should I drain some of the system and and put sludge remover in the F&E tank?

I have put some nails in a pint pot with some of the water from a radiator to see if they rust and plan to put inhibitor in if they do.

;) OR do you think I should leave the damn thing alone as it has had a treatment at one stage and there is a card saying DO NOT DRAIN but with no date for when the system was treated before.

Yes I think you should treat your system if you have sludge in it then get it out asap.
