Evening all. Next question. I have been asked to fit all new rads in a house. She says the boiler is ok. But did not tell me how old it was. So Just wondering if when replacing the rads as it is all of them will i need to power flush or as i am removing the old ones and draining the system will that be ok and remove enough magnatite to do the job properly, then add inhibitor?:confused:
 
if she doesnt ask for a powerflush then dont do it - if removing ll rads then most of the crap will be in the rads.

i woouldnt powerflush or flush for that matter unless the boiler was being changed.
