Default Where to buy Fernox?

.... Needs flushing, then one of the anti-corrosives.

(Not for any problem, it's just I have a shiny new tank and pump, and
you should have seen the crud in the old pump!)

- F3 to clean it out?
- Which treatment?

Pretty old boiler, Glowworm fuelsaver F.

Local merchants all seem to want 25 quid a go, which isn't funny.

Just done the same thing - Screwfix are much cheaper, even if you have to
pay ther postage

If it helps, and you're near Leeds/Bradford, I've got a spare 4 litres
of Fernox MB-1 here that you can have for £15.

Whilst I'd also do my best to get it cheaper, in the scheme of things
GBP25 isn't much compared to the potential costs of not using it.

I see no point in wasting money. If the locals had it reasonably close
to an on-line price they'd get my trade. They don't even have to match
it, just get close - I understand that they have overheads, and provide
a service, that internet traders don't.

Not buying it is not an option!

BTW - F1 or MB1?

Bought it in Ballcock and Bits in Bracknell. Close enough to an online
price (15 quid-ish) to get my trade.
