UK Is that right to add inhibitor in boiler filter?

[Jurgenjay]

I had an engineer today added inhibitor in the boiler filter via Magnaclean when he did the boiler service after taking off the filter.

But before the engineers all added inhibitor in the radiators, and I searched online that majority information shows the inhibitor should be added in radiator.
So is it ok or right to add inhibitor in the boiler filter via Magnaclean?

Thanks for any input!

Assuming that you don't have the boiler circulation isolated from the radiator circuit with an external heat exchanger, it's fine.

Thank you for your reply! But could you make it a bit clearer as I am not sure what it means....

Basically if you have a normal system it doesn’t matter where you add the inhibitor into the filter is and easy one as it’s empty after after he cleaned it into a radiator he would have to drain some water off the radiator unless he was using the pressurised type of inhibitor. It doesn’t matter where you add it as the water mixes in the system
