Regarding: Clean sealed central heating system, powerflushed and inhibitor added a few years ago and system water still remains clear as tap water.
Question: After cleanly installing a few brand new radiators with no flux, in reality is cleaner really required before fully flushing the system down a few times with tap water?
If so why? There might be a bit of manufacturing oils in the radiators but wouldn't a few cold water flushes be safer than introducing cleaner?
If the new radiators are not clean using a cleaning solution, what are the potential problems?
From what I understand, adding cleaner can introduce problems itself if not removed thoroughly after ie, the TDS level in the system taken down to the same level of tap water by flushing before adding inhibitor.
