To flush the system, you generally need to connect a water source to the inlet and run water through until it comes out clean. Here's a breakdown, based on the context of flushing a radiator:
-
Connect Water Source: Attach your garden hose (or another suitable water source) to the inlet valve of the radiator you want to flush. Ensure the connection is secure to prevent leaks.
-
Turn on the Water: Slowly turn on the water supply connected to the hose. The water will begin flowing through the radiator.
-
Flush Until Clear: Continue to run water through the radiator until the water exiting the outlet is completely clear and free from any sludge, debris, rust, or other contaminants. This may take some time depending on how dirty the radiator is.
This process removes accumulated sediment and debris, improving the radiator's efficiency and overall system performance.
