How To Add Inhibitor To Your Heating System Via The Loft Tank

Jimmy the plumber takes you through the process of adding inhibitor into your heating system via the feed and expansion tank (F & E Tank) in your loft. As you'll see, this process is relatively easy, but it does require a bit of climbing in and out of the loft!
Central heating inhibitor is a liquid you add to your heating system to help stop the build up of limescale and corrosion inside the radiators and towel rails.
Without it, internal corrosion can cause tiny fragments of metal to break off into your pipework and radiators. The fragments often congregate in the bottom of radiators which often results in the common problem of a radiator with hot and cold patches.

im not a plumber but i got a better idea what if u just drained the f&e tank just down enough to a little bit of water in tank then add the inhibitor then add water then just drain more water out of system while the ball valve fills the tank then stop draining the system or bleeding the rads

I've just done that today, so will see how my central heating system behaves over the next few days.

Would you be able to do this with a break tank that pressurises a heating system via a pump. I can't find any instructions on the sentinel inhibitor or any other inhibitor that says it can be done this way or would it damage the pump somehow?

Can't you just pour the inhibitor directly into the outlet to the radiator system, rather than adding it to the water in the F&E tank. You would only need a funnel and hose. This would ensure all the inhibitor went into the radiators.

Do I leave the inhibiter in or do I need to drain system again after it's been in there? Great videos 👍👍

A bit late but for anyone else wondering yes you leave the inhibitor in the system. This is especially important in an open vented system like this one in the video since it has a supply or oxygen to replace the oxygen given up to the radiators as corrosion and inhibitor is supposed to slow that process down.
