    Central heating cleaner

    Can leaving cleaner in for too long before a boiler swap cause issues? The ideal boilers cleanser says leave in for between 1 hour and a week. Would leaving in for a couple of weeks really cause issues?

    Is using cleaner essential after pipework, with old boiler

    I have been replacing my radiators (all too small), and adding some extra ones. Boiler is a baxi back boiler, cast iron. Is it essential to use a cleaner like x400 to get rid of flux residue etc. Or would fill heat, then drain be sufficient. Then going to add x100.

    Best GENTLE system cleaner?

    As above, got a 35-year old system with bad circulation, rust spots on radiators, etc. I want to put some chems in the system, let it run around for a couple of weeks then mains flush rather than powerflush. I normally use Adey MC3+ but I'm not sure it's gentle enough? Recommendations please?
