When flushing is it good to use a flushing additive or just water?

I don't know how hard much effort it should take but it didn't seem like too much. I hooked the garden hose up and a cloud of dirty water came out. I flushed it then blew the water out a couple of times, water flowed well. Hooked it back up and it fixed it big time. I have major heat, not just a small improvement. I a greatly relieved that that cured it and the core doesn't need to be replaced.

Thanks for the help
Glad you got it sorted out.
