tikka.223 Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 I got some Sentinel X100 inhibitor for my central heating system,will I get away with pouring it into the F&E tank? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del T Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Yes but you need to drain water out first. Just tipping it in the tank won't do anything. Sometimes causes more problems as it turns to jelly in the f +e tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fruity Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Yes if you drain/take some water out first, and if your going to do that you may aswel dose it from a rad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Drain the system down and then add your x100 to the expansion tank as the system refills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLuke Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 Depending on your ability you may be as well to pour it into the F&E tank (the smaller of the two in your loft) and then open your drain off on system (normally near lowest radiator in house) with hosepipe attached. That will pull the F&E water into the system bringing the inhibitor with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingo15 Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 You are much better pouring it directly into the system if you can!. If you have a modern towel rail with a 1/2 inch bleed on top then take that out use a small funnel to pour it into that. Or if you are fairly competent at diy, you pour could it straight into the pipe work on the upstairs circuit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
