Hi folks,
No posts from me for ages now that I'm employed again and living in Cambs during the week......
Couple of weeks ago we discovered most of our reclaimed cast iron radiators are cold at the bottom so they're obviously suffering from sludge - we'd never checked them before installation 3-5 years ago......hey ho.
The system is sealed so we're looking at options for flushing, and having seen these power flushers you can hire for a few quid I guess I'll be doing that next weekend. There's 2 types that I can see (or they might be the same but with different converting options), one that goes in place of the boiler pump to do the whole system and one that fastens between the radiator tails to do one radiator at a time.
For an example go to
Anyone got experience of these things? Or has a better way of flushing that doesn't involve carting them outside :)
cheers!
