Get a £20 massage gun with the foam ball end and use that to vibrate the radiator, cheap alternative if you don't have an SDS or the attachment is too expensive.

Really like this idea, I was thinking of getting one of the drain cocks open all the time and flushing the water through. Would I still need to turn off the thermostat and lock on each radiator in turn, I pressume to keep pressure up in that single radiator to remove the gunk?

Thanks for an informative video. When you've treated with X800 for an hour on full heat, we have a drain point at one of the radiators. Should we just drain the whole system and then refill the whole system? Not sure how to 'blast' one radiator at a time - what is the sequence exactly - are you sending refill water to one radiator at a time, then draining system each time and closing off to do the next radiator, before finally refilling the whole system?

I’ve got a combi boiler is the process the same by leaving the filler loop on and letting it get full whilst draining it? Do both lock-shield and trv need to be off or just the trv will be sufficient? Do you use just a normal drain off point for the water to just come out? I’ve only got one drain off point on a 15mm copper pipe by the front door will that work?

I wanted to ask if it is easy or difficult to install central heating as a beginner who has finished the 4 month school for hvac systems, where should we base ourselves

Despite having the ch system flushed when a new condensing boiler was installed I still need the pump on maximum speed to reach the required circulation for the boiler to function. Do you think using the x800 would help or do I need a powerflush?

Just confirming - when you said you were going to close the lockshield on the drain off to allow water through the radiator…did you mean open it?

I have underfloor heating as well as numerous radiators upstairs and down. Does this complicate things when attempting a system flush?

Do you drain the system after finishing with the cleaning solution? You didn't specify but I'm assuming you would do this before adding the inhibitor unless I'm mistaken, please let me know.

Could I just add the inhibitor directly in to the magnaclean filter since I need to clean mine off anyway? let it pump around a bit then add whatever is left?
