Hello. Decided to clean sediment from my cold water storage tank(just sediment nothing else is there). The pipe to the tank also splits off and feeds the hot water systems header tank(which also needs cleaned, but the boiler man can do that one). The water tank has 3 outlets. The overflow, one to the bathroom and one to a hot water cylinder. Basically I plan to close the mains valve in the loft and run the cold taps in the bathroom to drain the tank and then scoop out the remaining water and sediment. I also thought to first run the cold taps and disturb the sediment so it flushes down throught the bathroom pipes while the mains sends in fresh water.
Any potential problems or issue's I should be aware of? I'm a bit concerned of the sediment getting down into the hot water clyinder. Would that be an issue?
