Sentinel x800

If putting this in a system would it at all help clean a plate heat exchanger if repeatedly turning the hot tap on so the C/H water runs through the plate? I imagine not or everyone would so it instead of taking the plate out.
Thanks

On a combi ?

If yes just run on how water only for a good 15-20 mins

Its a combi yes. Do you think it may work?

That’s what baxi do they use fernox can stuff

 

[Matt0029]

Does this allow the plate heat exchanger to be cleaned without taking it out of the boiler? Or am I thinking abit over the top.

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Yes

 

[Matt0029]

Got to be worth a try then.

Do they use method where you can syphon the clearer in to the main hex? Obviously closer to the plate then. Or just add the cleaner to a radiator/filling loop

Via the filling loop eg like this

Thanks I'll have a look in to the fernox F3. Is it seen as, as strong as the x800?

 

[Matt0029]

Any idea how they make sure it's going through the plate when put in the filling loop? As running the hot tap will divert the water that is presently in the heat exchanger around the plate. Run heating for a second before. Running the hot tap

What boiler is it ?

Alpha cb24. Due to age of it was wondering if there was a way to clean without disturbing the boiler
