rust inhibitor
My central heating system has been drained & refilled but without any rust inhibitor, I've bought a can but I'm not sure what to do.. Do I drain the same amount of water off & add it all in one go to the top of a radiator ? Please can anyone help.....
Thanks in advance

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.what type of applicator did it come with? some come with a nozzle that allows you to inject it into the system through the filling loop using a sealant gun, this is my preferred method.(im presuming you have a combi boiler, if you have a traditional system with tanks and cylinders you add it to the central heating header tank then drain some out so it gets down into the pipework)
and yes if its a combi and your adding a litre of inhibitor then drain a litre of water out first and then add through the filling loop, you can also inject it into the bleed nipple or you can take a rad off the wall and pour it into the rad.
