Default Re: Vinegar to detox and clean the radiator?

I'm looking for some clarification! Doesn't the term "back flush" imply forcing water in at the bottom of the radiator and letting it flow out the top? Perhaps the suggestions above are more properly a "forced flush" with the water flow moving in the same direction as when the radiator is in normal use? I'm trying to determine whether the value of "back flush" is derived from the water flowing backwards through the radiator or if the value comes from adding air pressure and isn't dependent on the direction of flow. Thanks a lot!!
