Power Flushing

What is it and why is it needed?

A Powerflush is an efficient way of removing the sludge and dirt that builds up inside your central heating system over time. Without a Powerflush you could see a gradual reduction in efficiency of your boiler system as this sludge coats the internal piping and reduces circulating efficiency.

Most central heating systems develop sludge over time, there will be more in older systems. You do not want to replace and update your boiler with the latest model without Powerflushing first, as the sludge and general dirt are disturbed in the new installation, it will find its way into your new boiler and reduce its effectiveness and life span.

Some of the problems that could be avoided with a Powerflush:

• Cold Radiators
• Heating Pump circulation problems
• Pipe blockages
• Internal corrosion
• System blockages
• Noisy systems

As a result the benefits of a professionally delivered Powerflush could be:

• Increased pump life as your central heating pump handles clear water instead of sludge.
• Curing radiator cold spots so that the full surface of the radiator heats your room.
• Improved central heating system efficiency so reducing fuel costs in future years.
• Clearing the boiler heat exchanger to stop banging noises (kettling) and prolonging the boiler life.
• Clearing your system of contaminated water which could lead to internal heating system corrosion.

How does it work?

The Powerflush machine is simply connected into the heating system. The powerful flow, combined with an instantaneous flow reversing 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.
