Cannot get new radiator to heat up?

Be careful pumping air in. It can push crud to all other parts of the system.

ok, noted, thank you!

Millions of products on the market for cleaning the CH System, are there any clear winners or are they much of a muchness?

Proper powerflush by which i mean that the correct chemicals are used, each radiator is treated/flushed individually and it’s not completed in a couple of hours

Like Riley says a power flush is a minimum one day job. On larger systems I’ve had to split system up and do over two days. Each power flusher will tell you what it’s capable of. A suction pump creates a vacuum and quite literally sucks Rubbish out. I’ve used them to clear oil lines or bleed problematic lines and vent de aerators

Reputable manufacturers: sentinel x800, fernox f3, calchem 3 in 1 (breaks down and don’t have to drain out)

Thanks for the replies, I aim to drain down in a couple of months to install the new radiator so that Calchem 3in1 would be perfect, shame no local shops sell the bloody stuff though!

Hi,

I spent 2 hours doing the mains flush trick after 90 minutes no more crud was coming out but I kept going another 30 minutes added the Calchem, filled the radiator and it is still at full temperature so really chuffed!

Thanks so much for everyones help, I really really appreciate it!!
