What is a Power Flush and how does it work?
WHAT
IS A POWER FLUSH
A power flush is a method of cleaning the internal pipe work and radiators of your central heating system, it removes all the sludge and build up of debris that happen over a period of time (normally years) and the way we achieve this is explained below.
HOW DOES IT WORK
The power flushing pump is connected into the central heating system, either across standard circulator pump couplings, across the tails of one radiator, or wherever most practicable. The powerful flow, combined with instantaneous flow reverser device, will dislodge and mobilise deposits and corrosion which resist traditional system cleaning methods.
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.
System flushing will not remedy design or mechanical faults, which should
be rectified, but in many cases it will cure the problems caused. Again
there is no need to alter or adjust your plumbing system we connect to existing
central heating. At the end of the process a corrosion inhibitor is added
to the system. The inhibitor is a fluid added at the end of the process
and this helps to stop the future build up of further contamination.
Due to demand we only flush condensing and combi boilers.
