Particles in system?

[Ollie1]

Hi,

I have recently moved in to a house and found a very old bottle of inhibitor next to a very dirty expansion and top up reservoir in the loft. Bleeding the rads the water was filthy too.

So I drained some out of a rad and added 2 bottles of fernox f3 and left it for a week under normal operation.

After a week I drained down the system, cleaned out the tank then refilled 3 times, bled and ran for a short time in between too. The water was very dirty and yellow and now it is very clear and clean.

All is well and the system is working well except I have a noise like small particles in the radiators from when the pump starts until the system goes off (it also did this before) I have drain some out to see if it's particles but other than the odd very small dot nothing that I can see would make the noise of that frequency. I have bleed all rads and valves and there is not airin the system. I also added fernox inhibitor on the last fill.

Does anyone know what this would be? It's quite annoying hearing the tinkling, tink..... Tink.... Tink.

thanks in advance, cheers

Without hearing it, maybe small lumps of solder
Can you localise the noise to a specific pipe
