I know it's the wrong time of year to be thinking about disturbing a CH system but I may have no choice as I need to reorganise a radiator some time in the next couple of weeks.
It's a big system so when I drain it down I try to do as many things as I can to make sure I get the most out of the inhibitor. So, I've been thinking about putting a filter in. Without starting a heated argument about which is best (!), my current issue is where to put it. The best place would seem to be on the return to the boiler (I thought all the manufacturers specified this but looking them up online, it doesn't seem too clear-cut). Anyway, the return to my boiler is only brought together into a single pipe for about 6 inches, and that is hard up against a 10 foot ceiling, which would be a pain for access.
Siting on the boiler outlet is easy, as there's a few metres of pipe that's very accessible between the vent pipe and the pumps. Although intuitively this seems the wrong place, it seems to me that having a filter/trap after the boiler is better than not having one at all. Is there a flaw in this reasoning?
