hi all
i have a towel rail with a leaking valve that i intend on replacing . i also have a noisy old boiler that i intend to put some silencer chemicals in. i had this done a couple of years back and it worked well.
can i clarify my steps...
turn off boiler and water supply to header tank
attach hose to drain valve
drain water out
should i turn water back on at this point to flush through a little?
replace faulty valve
should i add chemicals into header tank now and then fill it up or fill tank first then add chemicals?
should i add inhibiter as well as silencer/cleaner? and can this be left in?
bleed rads
boiler on
also if the boiler etc is all off will gravity alone pull water through since pump is off?
all advice gratefully received
