Hello , how can pipework be best cleaned without a boiler in place?
The old cast iron Potterton, out of commission, has been taken down. naturally I'd like to clean the old system before fitting a quality new combi boiler.
I've had radiators removed and well-flushed upside down in the garden, and will consider replacing them; I've yet to have them re-hung. The crud in the radiators didn't seem too bad - the old system had been kept clean , with inhibitors annually.
I don't want to replace all the piping too. I am sure there is some black corrosion on the internals of pipe, again not too bad it seems, by inspection, where exposed feed and return to boiler were cut back to re-route to resite boiler.
Your knowledge on this appreciated.
