How to Manual Flush Through Cleanser from Central Heating Prior to Adding Inhibitor

[colmax]

Newbie question I realise! What is the best way for me to manually flush the cleanser out of my central heating (open Vented) prior to dosing with inhibitor?? Do I close all but one radiator at a time and run water from FE until that single radiator is running cleanly and then move onto the next and so on until completed??

Many thanks to all.

Drain from all drain off points, re fill system then drain from all points again

As simple as that - sincere thanks Alex

Hi Alex - I'm still letting Sentinel X400 clean the system (will let it run for 4 weeks) before I drain down and refill, flush etc. You mention 'Drain from all drain points' - I have a question on this. I see that I have two drain points - first one is the lowest point one and is outside of house. The other is a drain point at the top of boiler at base of return flow to boiler. I take it I need to also drain down from here?? Is this to clean out the radiator loop and also the hot water loop???

Many thanks.
