Sorry RoryD, not sure what you're on about mate. Not sure what this advice is that i've been given and not taken, apart from what the BG man said, all of which i've done, apart from doing the powerflush which i have been told to do and not do in equal measure. I also wasn't going to spend £1200 on doing so.
BG said i needed a magnaclean - i fitted a TF1 because i was told they were and seem to be better.
BG said i needed a system flush - which i've done.
BG said i needed a powerflush, and in order to do one i needed to change all the twin entry valves to single valves on each end of the rad and extra pipe work in between. - because i was also advised the powerflush may make things leak and a system flush with good cleaners would do the job just as well, thats what i did, also negating the need for more pipe work and new valves. powerflush is not a cure all problems, and what did people do before powerflush came along? what i've done?
I didn't come on here asking for a step by step guide on how to do everything the BG guy said needed doing, i came on here asking for a few pointers which i've been given, and advice on what was said to me by BG, which according to the helpful guys on here, seemed to be a standard expensive response to every job BG goes to.
And what is the short term fix i seem to have opted for? nothing has been bodged or short cutted, i've spent a lot of time and effort on it and my system now has clean water going round it instead of 'black coffee with bits in'!
I'm just left with a humming pipe, which was humming before, and a query on pump speeds. is that ok?
