Cleaner and inhibitor

[NellyC]

what do you guys use when cleaning a system and when fiiting a new boiler?? I was thinking of buying the sentinel filling kit as its very easy to use.?

sentinel feroquest jetflow and sentinel x 100 you can easily make a dosing vessel to fit a rad

this is probably silly Q but still finding my feet,....on this subject can some tell me what inhibiter, where to put it( is it the F&E ok ?) and how much, I suppose it tells you on the box does it ?

 

[andyg0507]

yes if you have an open vented system.

i've made up something to put inhibitor into sealed systems, get a McA washine machine spigot cut off the spigot where the 3/4"BSP thread starts, screw on a 3/4" FI x 15mm tap adaptor a little bit of Hep2O pipe with a hep bend on it then a bit of pipe fitted to a 15mm st coupling, remove the bleed valve from a rad screw the st coupling into the rad (it spins on the hep bend) and fill from the wash mac spigot as it acts as a small funnel, takes 15mins to make it but then you have it for other jobs

I bought a 5quid bottle of no nonsense system cleaner just for the adaptor it comes with
It screws directly onto any bottle ie sentinel/fernox etc and has a 6" length of hose with a straigh 1/2" coupling so u just drop 1.5 litre out of a radiator , unscrew the cap at the top of rad and screw it in, its plastic so it doesnt take paint of rad
connect it to your bottle and hold it upside down and squeeze it in
simples!

i got a big funnel from the pound shop,stuck a bit of 15 mm on the end and taped it up well,then i fitted a 15mm comp srait to the pipe then loosely screwed a tail from a trv to it you wind this bit into the rad after taking the top out with either a 22mm spanner or 3/8 ratchet if a older rad,then just hand tighten you pre made funnel on job done
