What is the capacity of the cleanser?
The bottle contains 500ml of concentrated liquid cleanser.
Do I need to flush the system after using the cleanser?
Yes, it is crucial to thoroughly drain and flush the central heating system after the recommended treatment time to remove the dissolved debris and cleanser.

Wipe up any spills immediately with a damp cloth. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
Can I leave the cleanser in the system longer than recommended?

Troubleshooting
Cleanser not dosing correctly into radiator
Ensure the radiator bleed valve is fully open and the funnel is securely seated before pouring. If persistent, the valve may be blocked and require cleaning or replacement.
Heating system still performing poorly after cleaning
Ensure the system was thoroughly flushed after the cleaning cycle. The issue might be related to other components like the pump, thermostat, or a severely blocked pipe not fully cleared by the cleanser. Re-dosing might be necessary for heavily sludged systems, following instructions carefully.
Loud noises (banging/gurgling) from the system after treatment
This can sometimes occur as debris is dislodged. Ensure air is bled from the system. If noises persist, a further flush might be required, or it could indicate other mechanical issues.
