I want to flush my central heating system and then put some rust inhibitor in. What is the easiest way to go about doing this?

Thanks

    Hire a powerflush machine, then remove your pump and connect the machine to the pump valves.

    Block off the vent and cold fill pipe, add the cleanser and bob's you uncle.
