    In these horribly depressing days of covid. I have no work and got that bored i though id sort my slow boiler leak out and also add inhibitor. Having just watched this video, i've not only been clearly instructed but heck, IT REALLY MADE ME LAUGH. What a character !!!!!!! You genuinely cheered me up so thank you and keep up the top notch work. :-)
  • Absolutely spot on from this chap as always. Saved me time and mess even over using the pressure pump method. 27 systems to inhibit over all on job. Made a little contraption the same as you have using an old container and few plumbing parts. Found a faster way to drain off the water using some more old plumbing parts and a lever valve. Simply remove valve from rad, fit Flexi hose connected to a lever valve onto radiator insert and with bleed screws open, open up lever valve and drain off water at full bore 😉. Not so bad doing a 1 or 2 systems but on a mega 27 like I've got to do needed a faster way to drain off water. Its Works spot on. Thanks for another bloomin marvelous bout of advice 💪👍, top man
  • @deepanshus
    very precise, and clear videos, loved the way you explained the stuff !! well done !!
  • @dangealy8141
    Made this contraption today, fantastic idea and works so well. When is best to add inhibitor to your system?
  • @websurfer1585
    Great info, thanks, i must do this asap, i drained my f and e system down last year, and refilled without inhibitor, and am now concerned there could be issues coming if i don't get some in there soon.
  • @jameswright6256
    just started watching your videos and subscribed. great videos and your well funny. thanks, learning loads

    We’ve been gradually decorating every room in the house so every radiator has come off at some point. Just used this method to add inhibitor now we have finished. Cheers 🎉
  • Brilliant video, added SENTINEL 400X to restore system on back of these tips. Question is would adding a second tub BEFORE draining down after a month help at all to further improve system performance as TBH it was pretty poor beforehand? Now improved but not optimal. Thanks
  • @atjones5250
    Cheers for the videos dude, brilliantly done, hang tight
  • @steve328ic
    Thanks for your help !....easy to follow instructions cheers.
  • @GigglingGobby
    Ace tricks! Worked perfectly for me. I made do with an adapter that fits the hole after taking the whole bleed valve assembly out, with a bit of silicone tube and a funnel - that got my chemicals in without any hassle. Glad I watched this vid first though because I was wondering how the air was going to get out as I filled with fluid - easy, take out the bung on the other side of the rad, hehehehe! Thanks for this!
  • @GenuinePluko
    Any thoughts on selling the cap and hose assembly on plumberparts? I know many people who'd buy one! Also how often should I inhibit my system? Great vid. Subbed!
  • @lutonroy
    I love your videos there so informative without being boring and tech stuff
  • @Dhinsa90
    Thanks for the video mate helped out massively as all your vids do whilst having a good laugh . the wife was looking at me like a weirdo though when you were singing disapate the radiator haha
  • Looooove plumber parts. Totally to the point but with a bit of fun.
  • @huntos83
    Small tip - if possible choose a radiator with a drain off fitted, saves messing around undoing the valve and catching it in a tray.
