Power Flushing
CLOSE
A more efficient and quicker way of cleaning a central heating system is the use of power flushing. When installing new boilers in old systems it is important that all sludge is removed from the system as it could accumulate in the new boiler.
Once the corrosion and sludge deposits have been loosened and mobilised, fresh clean water is forced through the heating system, pushing the contaminated water out through a full bore dump valve to waste.
During the process, radiators are individually flushed, without removing or disconnecting them from the system, by directing the full output of the pump through each radiator separately.
At the end of the flushing process, the system contains fresh clean water and reinstatement of the system to normal operation takes only a few minutes.
In conjunction with an acid or effective neutral cleaner, a thorough system clean from set-up to completion can be carried out in around 4-5 hours.
It is important systems are cleaned, to ensure that all warranties are honored by the manufacturer.
