Hi
I have recently bought a house which is 17 years old.
There was a small leak from one of the radiators So I took the pipe off and drained the radiator and the water was black/brown.
I took the radiator off and flushed it out with a hose pipe out the garden but it's got me thinking and I now want to clean the whole system the best I can.
Just looking for some advice really on what the best way to do this is as I have never done it before.
Shall I take each radiator off one by one and flush them out with the hose pipe and then run something like sentinel 400 for a few weeks and then flush the whole system out again?
Hoping to replace the radiators completely in a year or 2 once I have saved up enough cash but looking to clean everything out to get me by until I do.
I have a unvented system boiler if that makes any difference.
