Powerflushing, Why Would You Take This Course Of Action ?

Powerflushing is a course of action to take if:

• You are having a new boiler installed
• Experiencing very discomforting noises coming from an existing boiler when it is working its hardest.
• Radiators on an existing heating system are partially heating up
• A boilers heat exchanger becomes partially blocked or blocked

What Is Involved In Power flushing ?

Using our power flushing machine , its a process of connecting the machine up to the customers heating system. Once that is complete, we add the cleaning agents in to the machine whilst the heating system is still full of water. Then turning the machine on and open one radiator at a time, whilst we flush through all the debris and copper oxide in the heating system. All the debris drops to the bottom of the machine, a majority of the time we operate this while keeping the boiler in operation, this way we get better results because at the same time the machine is working hot water is circulating the heating system breaking down the debris and copper oxide even more. Once all radiators and the heating system has been thoroughly flushed its then a process flushing the system through with fresh cold water, getting rid of the cleaning agent we use. Leaving a cleaning agent still active in the heating system will end up rotting through the pipes causing major problems. Last but not least would then be the adding of a inhibitor, this will help to keep the heating system clean and maintain efficiency within the heating system.
