Yes, but you don't say what system you have. If C/H cistern in loft just put some in there. If sealed or combi turn both valves off at any radiator. Have a few cartons ready then *hold valve with mole grip* and loosen the nut next to the radiator to drain off a litre or so. Now use a large radiator key to open up the radiator at the opposite end to where it's small air release point is. Use a funnel and rubber tube or anything you can get your hands on to put the inhibitor in. Open up valves, repressurise and vent rad when done. Jon The system has a cistern in the loft, so I can just add the inhibitor through there and it will get drawn through when I put the last radiator back on. My main concern is that there wont be a reaction between any existing inhibitor and the new inhibitor that I add to the system. Does anyone have any views on Fernox / Sentinel? It's a fairly old system, not sealed with a cast iron boiler. Thanks Marc |
