Cleaning radiators?
Go to solution
Solved by HollyBoni,
Initially you wouldn't use the pump to circulate the fluid. You'd slowly pour it through one of the openings and fill it till it was about 1/2 to 3/4 of the way full with hot water. Initially you'd also want to let it sit to try to reconstitute whatever's in the radiator so it can be rinsed away better. That is what is meant by the "seal and shake" method, as you'd fill it with hot water, seal the radiator with stop fittings, then shake it vigorously for a short time -- periodically unsealing it and resealing it to relieve pressure.
I can actually connect the radiator to the tap in the bathroom. Thanks guys, I'll try hot water and circulating a vinegar water mix.
