We're having a combi boiler fitted shortly, with new pump & filter, replacing a 20 year old Flamingo2 that came with house when new.
Old system seems OK, but one rad on ground floor has surface rust on bottom. Is it OK to treat rust and re-paint, or is there danger of leak?Should we have this rad replaced when system upgraded?
Rather depends on severity of rust but as the system will be all but drained for the boiler replacement, and a new rad' will cost relative peanuts...................
Having said that, I have never heard of anyone ever getting a leak in an actual rad' - but it must happen to someone somewhere.
