Is there any merit in the statement that if there is no evidence of sediment in a central heating system and no leaks, then it is best not to drain it down or flush as part of routine service ?
The argument being that the introduction of fresh water brings in more oxygen which assists corrosion.
I have in mind a system that has not been drained for around 28 years, has a Baxi 552 BBU, has even heat distribution over all rads, is in Scotland in a soft water area. The system comes on full within 30 minutes (indirect DHWS with circ pump for 9 rads). The rads never need bled.
