Smelly Inhibitor

Yorkshire_Tyke_3

Hi

I have just had a new radiator in my kitchen. I ask the plumber who fitted it to make sure he put some more inhibitor into the system, but I am not sure if he did. Not long after I got British Gas, who were testing my boiler at the time, to test if there was any inhibitor in the system, be he did not have a testing kit. But to cut a long story short I eventually got another British Gas man to come but guess what he did not have a testing kit either. So he phone one of his work colleague for advice and he said he could put some inhibitor in the system (he said you could not over dose the system). He then proceeded to do the job. That was well over two weeks ago and now all I am getting is the smell of the inhibitor from that radiator when it is on and also it smells a bit when it is off, which is in the kitchen. It smells terrrible. Does anybody know if this is dangerous to breathe in and how long before the smell goes away?

Sounds like the inhibitor has been spilled on the radiator surface when filling or there is a leak. Try giving the radiator a wipe down with a damp cloth on the front and back and in-between the panels if it is a double type.

I dont think I have got a leak no water on floor and I have tried wiping down the radiator but it stills smells does anybody know if breathing in these fumes are dangerous?
