Radiator Gaskets Rusting on New Column Radiator

[Catherine1]

I did an anonymous call to the supplier today to make a few enquiries. They said the gaskets are silicone (The Carron ones are also silicone or graphite depending n the model). They also said the recommend Fernox Power Flush and Fernox inhibitor in the system and the water must be PH neutral as they will not withstand anything acidic.

I need some pipework altering in the kitchen soon so will probably send the rads back and get it all redone at the same time.

Inhibitors make the water alkaline. So they can't get out of that one.
