Is it worth your time and water? Interesting question.
How much would 5 minutes worth of water cost?
Here in Manitoba, I probably pay less than $100 per year for all the water I can make run out of the taps. And I would for sure flush the core.In LA I cant say.I need heat in winter.I need the defroster to work. And Id rather find out now, that the core is going to pop a leak, than find out in winter.
I run a 7psi cap. My hoses and such seem to last forever with it.Our summers are short and relatively cool though, with temps rarely exceeding the mid 90sF and never more than a few days in a row.Slantys are hard to overheat here. In winter I can hardly get enough heat out of her, often resorting to drastic measures.
