Awkward job!

[truemanufan]

Replacing a rad and leaking trv. Once rad been replaced trv leaked from reducer. Changed reducer, movement split the soldered joint. Stripped down, soldered again! Done!
In between all this drained down 3 times and 10 mouthfuls of rad water! 90 mins job turned into a day out!

Taste is another one of our senses worth using when diagnosing problems. Fernox tastes different to sentinel! An actively pumping over system has a distinctly different taste to a de-oxygenated one I've had my lips around many an open vent and piece of pipework over the years :lol:
