Call it what you will, distilled water eats steel. In steam heating plants =
the steel condensate handling piping often needs to be inspected and replac=
ed because the condensate water will wear longitudinal grooves in the botto=
m portions of the pipe where it runs. In plants that have been in service o=
ver long periods without proper levels of corrosion inhibitor injected into=
the condensate stream the piping will often wear through and begin to leak=
along the bottom of the pipes due to this effect.
Distilled water is theoretically neutral with a Ph of 7, but exposure to ai=
r causes it to combine with CO2 turning it into a mild carbonic acid with a=
Ph of about 5.8. That will dissolve limestone and cause ferric metals to r=
ust. (oxidize?)

The water flows thru the radiator top to bottom. It flows thru the heater f=

Water will not flow backwards thru the heater valve.

Hello all,
Preparing to install my alum radiator. Thought I would flush the cooling sy=
stem.
Which diretion direction does water flow? From block though
Shut off vavle into heater core, or through pipe and back into block throug=
h the shut off valve?
Is my valve in open ir closed position? Heater controls not reinstalled yet=
. Unit get hot so Ill asume open, but want to confirm. Removed thermostat t=
o help water flush ststem easier. Im going to add extra hose and splice in =
a water hose bib. That way I can remove it and put system back in place.
Im off this week, but the rain gods are laughing at me. So I'm just getting=
everything ready for the sweet spot of having time and sunshine so I can b=
ack the car out of the garage and flush the system. I plan to drain the ant=
i freeze and fill with flush chemicals and water when I'm ready to flush. B=
ought new anti freeze for my new radiator.
Driving season is fast approaching.
Happy roads and saftey fast
