Central Heating removing sludge and changing radiator

May 15, 2004 1 Replies

Hi,



I have over 25 years old central heating with Glow Worm Boiler. It is working fine and there are two water pumps. I intend cleaning the radiators and pipes and removing sludge from the system.



What treatment should I give to water circulating in the system? How many days should I leave the chemicals to work?



There is some rust showing on some radiators and I would like to change them with the new. They are old British standard threads and now we have metric threads. Any problem it would cause?



House is a large 4 bedroom house with kitchen, garage, dining and bath room. I intend putting power shower in the bathroom.



Your advice would be much appreciated. I shall be visiting my local stores such as B&Q stores for assistance and Graham central heating expert.
