vinigar/water run.

Hi there, just wondering about doing a cleaning run. I know vin.water in a 50/50 mix is the go, but need to know how much wash to make up? I"m assuming it's not a whole boiler full? Thanks in advance.

Depending on what your boiler is and whether you have exposed elements or not, half a boiler full will be enough. When doing vinegar run i was happy with an hour of running at full power with no reflux.

You don’t need to do a vinegar run with a T500.
Just do a sacrificial run and your done
