The best time to clean the heating pipes is after the heating has ended.
Heating systems generate some sediment and impurities such as oxides, scale, and rust during winter operation. These deposits can affect how well the radiator dissipates heat and can cause pipe blockages or temperature imbalances.
Therefore, it is very beneficial to clean the heating pipes when the heating season is over. After the heating stops, the water in the system can be drained and the sediment and dirt in the pipes and radiators can be cleaned. This ensures the normal operation of the system at the beginning of the next heating season and improves the heating effect.
To carry out the cleaning of heating pipes, the following steps can be considered:
1.Turn off the hot water boiler or heating system and wait for the system to cool down.
2.Close the valves associated with the heating system and drain the water from the system.
3.Connect cleaning equipment, such as detergent or a high-pressure water gun, to rinse and clean the heating pipes.
4.Wash the radiators and make sure to remove and clean the sediment and impurities from them.
5.Rinse pipes and radiators until the water is clear and free of impurities.
6.Refill the system, open the valve and hot water boiler, restart the heating.
Please note that the cleaning of heating pipes may require some specialized tools and knowledge, and it is advisable to seek help and advice from a professional heating engineer or company. They can provide more detailed guidance and ensure that the cleaning process is safe and effective.
