Presumably if I turn off the boiler isolation valves I could pressure test the whole system that way.
Products like X400 don't actually dissolve black sludge, just flocculate (i think that's the word) it for easier flushing. Whereas DS40 actually dissolves the muck.
So to get the system clean...
1: Pressure test to see if there are any imminent points of failure
2: Use DS40 in accordance with manufacturer' instructions. WIll probably need to fit a couple of T's to the system to couple the hoses for a good flush.
3: Refill with fresh inhibitor
PS: Would it be worth hiring a powerflush machine or just use mains pressure?
