If your system needed flushing, obviously it has been lacking inhibitor for a while. My system was installed in the mid 1980's and has never needed flushing, though I gave it a good flush anyway, as I was adding TRV's all round, before the new boiler was fitted.
I also had a filter to the return pipe added as a precaution. Boiler passages are much smaller these days, so easily blocked with debris. I have checked the filter a few times since and a minimal amount of debris has come out each time, but it proves it is doing its job.
