Question 1

How do you get this product into the system?

Accepted Answer

Close the valves to a radiator. Remove the top plug (the one with the square hole) and using a length of plastic pipe syphon out sufficient water from the rad to accommodate the leak sealer. Use a funnel or plastic squeezable bottle and pour the sealer into the rad.Refit the plug, open the valves and bleed the radiator. You may have to pressurize the system. Alternatively you can drain the system but this is much more work.

Question 2

Can this product be used with combi boilers?

Accepted Answer

Thank you for your enquiry.  Corgi Leak Sealer is suitable for use in all wet heating systems, including those with combination boilers.

Question 3

Can I put this in my loft water tank to seal a water leak in my oil boiler?

Accepted Answer

If you are referring to the header tank for your heating system, you would first need to drain a sufficient amount of water from the system to empty the tank and a little more to allow the chemical to enter the system. You could then add the chemical via the header tank and then refill the tank with water.

Question 4

Do you drain the product afterwards?

Accepted Answer

Because the location and nature of any heating system leak is not always known, the leak sealer should be added to the system, and circulated whilst the system is running normally until there is evidence that the leak has been plugged (the leak sealer reacts with the air at the point of the leak).  The system should then be drained and re-filled adding inhibitor.  If leak sealer is left for an extended period in the system water there is a small risk (if there is air within the system) of the leak sealer reacting with 'system' air and partially curing within the system, which could lead to a blockage.
