    I meant would it be necessary to top up the inhibitor now, not drain the system (bearing in mind just half a bucket of water came out).

    I think a 'test' would be necessary of the water to see if nails rust. If they do, then I may have to top up:::

    If the nail becomes rusty, how would I calculate the amount of inhibitor required?
    How long would I leave the nails in?
    Is a 'tester kit' better than doing the rusty nail trick?
    How does the tester kit work? Is it a special nail? :p
    What material should the nail be that i test with (Not Aluminium for example)?
